Tango for One

I found a pound upon the ground whilst out the other day

I tried to grab it quickly but it quickly rolled away.

My husband had it on a string, he put it in his pocket,

I said if you think I’m following that you’re clearly off your rocket.

He looked at me with sheepish grin and asked me for a Tango

We took to dancing gracefully till I felt his creeping hand go

To places where it had not been since 1973.

I quickly snatched the pound for t’bus and said, ‘I’ll go and make the tea’
