Yout hips move with a sway Blonde hair hardened with spray Red lips pout in that way You beckon to me, legs a-splay 'You fancy a roll in the hay? I've a partner, thank you, no way! Their instructions I have to obey Off on my errands,' I say 'A kitten, that we need to spay The vet's waiting for me to pay' I doff my hat, 'good day!" Poor thing, she wouln't know I was gay Ritu 2020

Charli Mill’s Carrot Ranch prompt this week:
May 28, 2020, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story using two words that contradict. Examples include champagne and hard-rock; rosemary and sewage; duck down and firecrackers; sleep and square-dancing. Use one of these or make up your own. Go where the prompt leads!
I’m afraid my brain was unable to come up with something original, soI used one of Charli’s examples!
Sleepy Square-Dance
The upbeat music created a jaunty atmosphere in the air. All around Jack, there were revellers dressed up in what they considered to be true ‘Square Dancing’ attire, i.e. a check shirt, some with fringes, denim, and obligatory cowboy boots.
It was all rather surreal. He was sitting in a church hall in the UK, not America!
Trying to stifle a yawn, he caught eyes with Jill. Oh great, now she’s coming over.
“Come on, sleepy head, I know you’re tired, but a bit of a dance will wake you up!” She grabbed my arm, dragging me up.
Help!
