PALINDROME
["They have such long hair!"
"If they play a danceable tune I'm gonna ask her to dance"
"I'm kinda nervous."]
No good winking at the fashionable plate,
She’s the least likely to make a break.
It’s not that your approach is too abrupt,
She hasn’t had the chance to size your wallet up.
History is written in the buff,
But by the time you read it it’s all window dressing stuff.
The mannequins may get a change of clothes,
But look, they’re in the self-same pose.
La la la la la...
History is written in the buff,
But by the time you read it it’s all window dressing stuff!
The mannequins may get a change of clothes,
But look! they’re in the self-same pose.
