Maybe at the ripe old age of 88, when all the ailments have surely set in, "Mother" too needs to go out with a "bang"; a rush of adrenalin to stimulate the blood that surely may have remained coagulated all her life with no help from Phillip.
That Mother of ours would be tempting faith with Slinger if that invitation had gone out even twenty years earlier because "The Birdy" would have surely ruptured one of her blood vessels with one of his vicious gyrations with a Mat-tey (similar to that of our Convent girl) and cause an international incident.
But who knows, as the inner workings of Mother Nature continue to baffle us, Mother could well be sending a signal to all saying that "despite being 88, stimulation does not have to take refuge in the mind, causing the hypothalamus to remain in a constant state of dormancy " (you know how dem so does speak pretty?)...Lol
Sparrow's invitation for a session at the palace could indeed be her Marquis de Sade moment, one which Mother is entitled to, given her age.
Your careful selection of this genre of calypso seems most fitting for Mother and I am sure Sparrow would be kind.
