Magpie Tales Oh La La!!

Painting by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec


There once was a gal from France
Who refused to wear underpants
As she danced with abandon
The famous dance Can-Can
Henri was totally entranced!

    The guy on siting on the stool will be entranced, too. Nice limerick.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
