"When I was younger,
it was all the rage
to be terribly silly
and I think
it's happening again now..."
the old girl said,
and recounted how
she had met her young man
in Piccadilly.
“I am filled with so much joy
and feel invigorated
thanks to my toy boy.
What I find attractive is,
I must confess,
his exuberant youth
and sexual prowess.
He may be uncouth
but he has made
a new woman out of me
and it has nothing to do
with HRT.”

Lol! reads beautifully Luigi -a sweet little ditty for sure :o) (you know the original meaning of Piccadilly? pick-a-dilly?)

Thanks Nicky. No, I didn't know the original meaning and I am not sure whether I know it even now. I googled pick-a-dilly and it looks as if it refers to a place where cakes or turn-overs were sold. Is this what you meant?

really? lol! well may be...turn-overs were sold -but i knew this as pick a 'dilly'-a 'woman' of the night -the area was a prostitution area, is still, soho. May be i'm wrong, so 'turn-overs' can be our compromise? lol Good business down there anyway! :o)

Well, you learn something everyday. Next time I'm strolling pick-a-dilly I shall wear something sombre and conservative, just in case ... mind, anybody picking me up in the dark would soon put me down in the daylight.
Still like this one Luigi, lovely.
