Book Club Night

It was Alice's turn to choose a book for our monthly meeting and she picked a biography of Bob Fosse. Her instructions came soon after. You simply cannot read about this man without paying tribute to his work. Even the four men had to participate.
The month passed too quickly for the guys. Roy, Ted and Al dreaded the meeting. Joe, however, seemed too excited. The other fellows looked very uncomfortable in their heels and black mesh stockings. Not Joe.
Alice put on a CD--All That Jazz. They began performing the Fosse moves, sensual and sizzling. Lack of flexibility limited the leg kicks, but the quick turns and posturing were exquisite.
They applauded themselves and sat for coffee and light refreshments. Roy chose the next book. It was an account of The Battle of the Bulge from WWII. I hope we don't have to wear uniforms, Alice joked.
Meanwhile, Joe, sitting in the corner, excited by the feel of mesh stockings, was exhibiting his own Battle of the Bulge.
