Strictly Come Dancing is back on our screens.
I’m as happy as Len with a ten.
Cause for three months I’ll tango and jive in my dreams
With the Strictly Professional men.
I’ll dress up in sequins, a basque made of lace,
High heels and a teeny tight skirt,
Doing chasses and flicks with a smile on my face
Cause not one single muscle will hurt.
Now, I know that a dream should remain strictly that
But this dream is a much longed-for goal.
It's to dance a routine with a cane and a hat
In the arms of that cute Brendan Cole.
EXPLANATIONS [for those who need them!]: Strictly Come Dancing in the UK is similar to
Dancing with the Stars in the US. It runs for about three months and I blogged
about it last year here.

Len is one of the judges and he doesn’t often award
the top mark of a ten. Brendan Cole, one of the Professionals, is pictured left... enough said!
Celebrities are paired with professional dancers and have to
perform a dance each week. It’s tough, not least because they have to wear gloriously
skimpy, glitzy outfits [and that’s just the men!]The public votes for their
favourite couple and each week the least popular is voted off.
The main show is on a Saturday evening. The results show is
on Sunday and every week day there’s a half hour show giving an update on
training and interviewing the couples. So you see I’m quite contented for the
next three months. My TV viewing is sorted.
