Off-beat
And the band plays on - Warning! Filthy
Pinned down, your partner's straddling you.
"I got a little game today," a flirtatious eyebrow shows. From behind, a tin box is grabbed only to be placed beside you. "Let's see if you can stay in tune."
With gentle generosity, your partner provides with one hand as the other cranks the arm on the musical toy. Then, all movement ceases.
Catching your breath, you think, "Hold it. Hold it. Hold It!"
Sadly, your body goes off-tempo. Your partner deviously laughs at the result singing, "Pop! Goes the weasel."
"Awwwwe," you groan disheartingly dissatisfied.
"Don't worry, let's continue our little song."

Thank You for Your Patience
The first announcement thanked us for our patience. It explained that there had been a minor incident and that emergency services were responding accordingly. We were advised to remain indoors, avoid unnecessary travel, and continue normal activities where possible.
