Thread Name: a verse in Lizzie Higgins' Alison Gross
Subject: RE: a verse in Lizzie Higgins' Alison Gross
Are you sure, Kevin?

In this case, the verse "I'd raither toddle around the tree" could mean something like I'd rather court a tree than make love to you... It would make sense, but I'd like to be sure we are not forcing the original meaning.
