riseoutofme asked if I can dance. This is a loaded question!
Vertical Expression
Dancing is said to inspire
An improper horizontal desire;
I find it discrete
To have two left feet,
It keeps me from playing with fire.

sooooooo....
ReplyDeletetranslation ...
can't dance worth a hoot ..
Wow, you are just a wellspring of rhyme. I can barely keep up with your posts. Clever boy. I like this one a lot. Perhaps you are channeling Cole Porter?
ReplyDeleteDo you sing? Play the piano, perhaps? I can almost envision you at the piano singing Mad Dogs and Englishmen... Weird.
Your discretion is admirable, I'm sure
ReplyDeleteFor the wannabes so chaste and so pure
But give me a beat
For the incomparable feat
And the flames I will bravely endure.
I suspect you are a schmoozer, Mr. Newberry.
Bravo!
ReplyDeleteYeah... I'll use that as my excuse, too.
ReplyDeleteEverytime I see American in Paris, that opening with Gene Kelly.
ReplyDeleteYou know the one I mean....where he gets up in the morning and is choreographed through his day's start?
I always feel that dancing is easy. Like it's just a case of where can I put the camera....
a shuffle over there, a slide to right here...suddenly a dancer's heart!
So what if we stumble, fumble and fart?
two left feet's better'n no feet at all.
And anyway, it is just a dancer's heart
that keeps us from dancing at the Queen's Ball.
(well, that and not being invited, of course)
I have no doubt you would get an invitation Boneman!
ReplyDeleteWait, it is dancing that inspires that desire!?
ReplyDelete"Oh honey," she calls to hubby, "put on a record. I feel the need to do a bit of dancing."
