1 | "It's me, Maypole. With more than one ribbon to my bow, I'm happy being a model maypole. I skipped along to success, it was first time lucky. But, I'm having a field day, village halls, brains, TV screens, so much fun to be had. Maybe, you think I'm a lucky so-and-so. I put my heart into everything I do, but I try to know my net worth. And, I'm ready to have a ball. Time to put my best ribbon forward." |
3 | "Mayday! Mayday! The panel's guesses have got me into a spin. While they are all going into one direction. I can stand rain and shine. You have to be resilient to survive this island. And, this isn't my first rodeo. Finding a perfect match is easy when you're made of wood. Well, sometimes it is. I almost chose a different field that was poles apart. But, this habit is hard to break. Time to go for another whirl. Whee!" |
5 | "It was so nice performing for everyone last week, but it seems that naming me has got them all in knots. I suppose I was named well, and I've got a real spring in my step after last week. You only get one take to make sure you bloom. Us maypoles may spin, but I'm no spinoff. I'm in pole position, the main event. It's no act in this stage. I just hope I can sweep the boards. Maypoles love the sun, but cold feet don't bother me. Oh, gosh! I'm not ready to be tied up in knots just yet." |
6 | ”Last weeks performance was a dream come true, bring out the Bunton. You might think I’m a little retro, but I’m happy to be in that club. I’d be miserable if I left now, what Elsa would I do? Wow that was quick, ahh a package for me? I genie lead me to this path, I’ve been shimmying my way down it ever since, shake, shake, shake. I’ve had some Big Blue Monster hits and walked the tightrope of fame. Good thing I’m limbered up, you better be ready for all of the bows and ribbons buster.” |
