Let me put on a show for you, tiger Let me put on a show


I remember from a junior school report, one of my teachers writing about my vivid imagination, and you know what – they were right.

 I don’t know whether it was the dullard journey home, or whether it is because my brain is mentally exhausted, but I found my mind drifting as I sat in my fourth red light between work and home. A track came on my Ipod, and as I listened to the rhythm and the lyrics, I began to think how fabulous this song would be as a burlesque backing track.

As the song continued, I began imagining a routine that would work well with it. Happily in my world of oblivion I considered the shimmies, the leaning back and forth, the biker glove removal...Oh hang on, biker glove? That wasn’t in my initial outfit choice – it was only then that I snapped into reality and realised the dance wasn’t only in my mind, but had been in fact dancing out the moves. 

Apparently it’s not the done thing to do whilst riding a pink Vespa – who knew? The guy in the van next to me...well... his flabber looked quite ghasted.

Vroom Vroom
