Have You Ever Met A Can-Can Girl?

She'd flip her skirt
in a flirty fashion
the edge with lace
just for the occasion
shoes tap-a-tap-a-tap
dark eyes a smilin
come be with me
just for the night
the can-can of love
for the won't-won't boy
just for one night
be my can-can toy
she smiled again
this time with demand
skirt rustled high up
in a flurry of can-can
eagerly she leans
toward his blushing cheek
as he finally looks up
and gives a can-can nod

Yowee sis, I used to do that, though never went past the "nod" Hopin I'm forgiven.

Short dresses, tall on heels
flirtin was fun, back then
Cute as they were
I put em off, turnin to the juke box
takin their quarters, playin
so Kels and I could dance.

can can dance I used to do as a child loved it
but not a can can girl, in any other sense

A good write Shirley you took me on a journey back to when my sisters and I used to put on shows for the neighbours to raise money for good causes. We used to dance the can can

love the poem. a theme i have often explored. i have only found 1 burlesque show ever, and it was old school strippers (bubbles, fans and nipple tassels) instead of the "Moulon Rouge" type shows, is the can can still performed anywhere?

Excellent. Beautiful, cute, girly, tender and smart. All together! I am impressed partner, and maybe this is a way of expression you should explore. I enjoyed it. Lovely!
