The evolution of the shape of a slender inviscid drop in an axisymmetric straining motion is studied at low Reynolds numbers. It is found that the shape equation can be solved by polynommals with time-dependent coefficients. A global stability result can be used to show simply that only one possible equilibrium is stable. It is further shown that if the slender drop starts with a long-wavelength waist then it cannot go to this stable equilibrium and must either extend indefinitely or burst. In the class of trinomial shapes, it is shown that the drop either bursts or goes to the stable equilibrium, depending on whether or not the initial shape has a waist.
