Mike, we need to talk more

Now I hope this isn't the ladder that climbs up from the soft-fall pine bark to the top of the slippery-slope of musical differences...but we have our first dilemma. It seems i have written the words of The Trapeze Song, to the tune of The Possessive Apostrophe song. I shall have to turn to my copy of People Skills (Robert Bolton PhD) to sort this one out. Mind you Mike and I are both mature chaps, swingers become middle-aged very early. We will no doubt sit down in the hot tub with a glass of stout and a packet of Jatz, and nut it out.

It should be pointed out that Swingers are rarely in fashion...but are always fashionable...with just a hint of yesterday's style. In the same way, things that Swing are often just behind (for behind read Ahead) of the fashion.
