I have never heard a word as silly as 'didonna' before!
Didonna's the name of a lady, Who loved to dance and get crazy. Her moves were so fast and so slick, That all the men just had to pick Their jaws up off the floor And ask her to dance some more. But Didonna, she had a trick up her sleeve, She'd spin and twirl and make them believe She could dance on the ceiling, on the wall, Even upside down, she'd never fall. So if you see Didonna out on the floor, Just sit back and watch her soar, She's got the moves and the speed, She's the queen of the dance indeed!
Romantic love allows you to focus mating energy. Attachment sustains that relationship as long as necessary to raise your baby.
