I dressed as an ape for a party once and I got quite a few cuddles! Just thought I’d mention it.

What song?🤣
Sometimes, my bad memory is really embarrassing, especially when I cheerfully comment to a fellow bogger I had never heard of artist x or band y, and they point out I previously had left thoughts to an earlier post they had done about the very same music act!

I’m a gentleman – at least that’s what I strive for – so obviously I won’t ask about your age. But I can tell you one thing, Nancy: You’re young at heart and that’s what ultimately matters! 🙂

Tarzan was much more important than that, dear Sadje; he was King of the Jungle! 👑

Really? It’s a classic story and the old B&W movies are still on. I loved watching them as a kid; real adventure! Thanks Sadje.

As fate has it, if you need for your poem, delve into the Kinks playlist, and you’re sure to come up with something suitable …
