A Dancer So Grand

A BAND AND A DANCER SO GRAND “Shall we dance?” the lady asked ever so politely And oh how the lady danced ever so lightly It was as if she \hovered an inch above the floor And I never enjoyed dancing with a partner more I begged the band to belabor the point For it was the music the woman would anoint She baptized the band as sanctified oil And to the lady my soul became loyal She took to the tile, a temptress, my muse And when she asked for more no man could refuse The brass played with class and the flute wasn’t mute And her elegance was a fact God Himself could not refute Mine eyes beheld the majestic majesty of grace And simply holding her caused my heart to race She dance me into a dream of loveliness and lace Whilst the band grew jealous of what was in my embrace Her gracefulness begot beauty and grandeur so bright While the vocalist sang a song about undying delight But then I heard four words that dimmed every light When the M.C. announced the final dance of the night DOES THIS MAKE ANYONE BESIDES ME WANT TO PUKE? © 2011.…..Phreepoetree ~free cee!~
