Les Valseuses


This poem has the above title

As I watched the movie

A few years ago and rather liked it

My poem is about a holiday

That I took with Vince and his girlfriend Julie

We planned to travel by train

But ended up travelling on our motorbikes

I am a complete idiot full stop

As I left most of my clothes in the flat

Which meant that I would stink if I was not careful

We ended up on campsite

Where a pop festival was taking place

We had two tents

Vince and Julie shared one

That was until they had a row

When Julie took up residence

In my tent and I shared with Vince

That was until I met Aoife

Who was in the habit of dancing naked

When stoned to any band that she favoured

I was nothing more than her comfort blanket

Which I did not really object to as she was

In a boyish way rather beautiful

And a total contrast to Julie

Who had blue eyes and cornflower hair

She hooked up with us and we hit the road

It was a casual arrangement

We shared everything except the girls

To Be Continued if I ever return
