“Melissa the Mouse: Mouse of the Dance”, 1/04/12 Gratiana Lovelace (Post # 96)

As you will recall, my name is Melissa. [(1) right]
I am quite a mice girl as you know.
Sometimes my mouse dancing is to waltzing or salsa,
And other times to Irish stepping, or even the tango.

You see, we mice are a happy lot,
As we scurry to and fro all day long.
So it is natural that we would shake what we’ve got,
As we dance the night away in song.

My delicate pink paws do so love to move,
And sway to peppy or lush rhythms and beats.
And if you think I jest, I might have to prove,
That my mouse dancing would rival others’ dancing feets. [(2) right]

Latin rhythms especially make me sway.
And make my mice girl ears perk up to hear,
A good marimba beat makes me full of play,
As I dance the night away in good cheer. [(3) below]

And though waltzing brings me close to the one I love,
It is really a tango that makes the cheese in my veins melt,
The passionate dance of romance as sure as Sir Guy wears his leather glove,
Or pined for a love from Marian, that she never felt. [(4) below]

If only Lady Marian and Sir Guy,
Could have danced like JLo and Richard Gere. [(5) below]
Their tango would have been, not shy
As their passions erupted in kissing the one they hold dear.  [(6) right]

But, lest you think that the Celts and Fenians have no romance
Or cannot inspire dancing in my mice girl self. [(7) right]
Just remember The Lord of the Dance,
Michael Flatley, that his, himself. [(8) below]

Very Micely Yours, Melissa the Mouse

P.S.  And for fans of the Richard Armitage Spooks show,
Here is a link to the Me + Richard Armitage’s  blog essay, [(9) below]
About Lucas North and the tango.
Oh, and please Lucas, don’t “look away”.

(10)   PomMice Productions is a fictional virtual theatrical entertainment company–and was created just for whimsy between Patty’s human Judiang and Melissa’s human Gratiana.  This fictional public company was most recently trading stock in liver snaps and cheese slices on the New York Stock Exchange.    Though Patty the Pom is a silent partner, she does give the lead performer–Melissa the Mouse–encouragement and sustenance, by paying her salary in cold hard cheese.  The Red Pomeranian image representing Patty the Pom (a real dog) was found at http://www.tadoz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/red-cute-Pomeranian.jpg  and composited with the image representing Melissa the Mouse (a fictional virtual character) that was found at http://images.macworld.com/appguide/images/312/621/772/ss2.jpg

(11)   Nota Bene:  Melissa the Mouse is a fictional, virtual character created by her human Gratiana Lovelace.  Melissa the Mouse plans to virtually visit and fictionally write about her experiences in mice life.  So, please suspend your disbelief and join her for the ride.  All references to real persons living, dead, or undead (since vampires are so popular these days, Eek!) whom she may or may not have met–and actual places she may or may not have visited–are pure whimsy and meant in good fun.
