They're funny... Why did you get drunk and dance, Henry?

[Henry P]

I got drunk at the barbecue, not the wedding, because the drinks were free

[Maryd.]

Did you dance?

[Henry P]

No, I would have tried if there was any slow music to start with , but the DJ went straight into disco mode

[Maryd.]

So, you could have got up and moved from side to side.

[Henry P]

I have a complex with dancing, my dear, after some bad experiences with very rude females

[Maryd.]

We're not all rude you know!
Next time there is music let your hair down... Let those stupid women laugh and snap... Just go with the flow. Dancing can be quite soothing.

[Henry P]

Some of the wedding guests looked a bit rough, my dear. I won't be laughed at, unless I want to be funny

[Maryd.]

Aw, too rough for my dear Henry... Mwah.
I know you are like me. You need a sweetie to dance with. Not a bully. That's ok. Maybe one day.

[Maryd.]

You would never guess... In a million years... He's handsome.

[Henry P]

you know Brad Pitt?

[Maryd.]

Oh, it's not Brad Pitt. My fellow is special... He is kind and tells me the best naughty jokes I have ever heard.

[Henry P]

A kind comedian? Do such people exist?

[Maryd.]

Oh yes... They do. This special fellow isn't young and silly but mature and wise.

[Henry P]

Nelson Mandela?

[Maryd.]

Love Nelson Mandella but he is not my main man... My main man is a poet like me.

[Henry P]

Seamus Heaney?

[Maryd.]

Heard of him... I believe he is a little too old. My man is just the right age and he makes me smile and we are The Poetry Forum's biggest posters. Ooops did I give away too much.

chilis help control insulin levels and prevent cancer

[Maryd.]

Really... Darn it, then I am in big trouble. I never eat it.

[Henry P]

[Maryd.]

I would get sick in the stomach... Even pepper makes me ill.

[Henry P]

[Henry P]

i used to go with Steph until she went to grammar school

[Maryd.]

Well I ran a library at the last job I had and I miss the excitement of it... People don't feel excitement in libraries... But being surrounded by books is a great way to live.
