Do The Limbo Rock

Every limbo boy and girl
All around the limbo world
Gonna do the limbo rock
All around the limbo clock
(Chubby Checker)

So every boy and girl goes through this dance at one stage or another. We duck and weave around the mutual attraction that lies unspoken in the air and the longer it goes on, the lower and lower the bar gets...until you find yourself virtually horizontal. Sometimes literally horizontal.

Get yourself a limbo girl
Give that chick a limbo whirl
There's a limbo moon above
You will fall in limbo love.

Now there's a term that frankly should be used more often - limbo love. Is it not perfect for describing that feeling of elation you have when all of your best laid plans bloom into fruition? All of your wavering eye contact, your careful placement of limbs that just might accidentally brush up against each other and then finally, finally, that first kiss.

The first kiss, to me, has always been so sweetly awkward. And well it should be - its perfection is concocted of bumbling nose placement, your arms coming to rest and your hands clasping around his neck, the inevitable rising on your tiptoes as you push your body fervently towards his....I'm sorry, this is turning rather Mills and Boon-ish, isnt it?

So I guess what I could say now, is that I'm in limbo love. Im not in real physical actual romance novel love, but I am unexpectedly taken with this boy. You can't say he occupies my every waking moment of thought, but he does make an occasional guest appearance. Im going to be very reserved about this, I think because I dont want it to turn into anything more in my head just yet.

All around the limbo clock
Hey lets do the limbo rock.

Watch this space.

Good luck in life and (limbo) love,

Honey xoxo
