Here is the winner of our disco event
made glorious by this son of York.
He gave us pleasure and enjoyment
with his gyrations and fancy footwork.

Now his brow’s adorned with a wreath
and his hand holds a silver cup aloft.
He has a hard demeanour but, beneath
his manly appearance, he is rather soft.

But he’s not the type to be put down.
Having won this prestigious prize,
he has become the talk of the town
and people admire him and eulogize.

He has made a great impact on the girls
who have seen  him perform on the floor.
His athletic pirouettes and crazy whirls
will get him through their bedroom door.

He is the ideal hunk for many a lass
who hankers after him and would be glad
to lose her virtue in a night stand. Alas,
he is in a civil partnership with a lad.

Hi Luigi,

isn't it strange how all those guys who look after themselves and are good looking end up being gay?  Mind you I always tend to be attracted to the greasy biker guys with long hair and beards, or the absolute opposite being the baby faced type, especially when I was younger.

Just loved that film though and think the title goes well with your poem.

Nowadays young men face the same situation, Jenny, trying to guess the sexual orientation of good looking women.

Scary, especially it gets so you can't even guess someones gender. On the other hand it should really not make a difference, I mean you don't sleep with everyone you meet or what?

See you Luigi! Nolan &

Hi Nolan, while it is not easy to recognise peoples' sexual orientation at first sight, body language might indicate if a person is attracted to someone of the same gender.
Nowadays heterosexual and gay relationships, whether casual or stable, are equally viewed.

Keep well, Luigi

I couldn't help making a parody of those fabulous oprning lines from Richard III, Graham. so easily transcribed. So pleased you liked the humour and thanks for telling me.

Cheers, Luigi

Do you have the Asterix stories in mind? Does sounds so.

No association to the Asterix stories, Nolan. My reference to the Bard is for William Shakespeare who wrote "Richard III" that contains the famous speech 'This is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of York,,,' and which I mimic in the first lines of my poem.

Best, Luigi
