A Dance So Cantankerous
A dance so cantankerous
The one that is not on earth
Happens every day in a forest
Not far from land of chaos
It is dance with a partner
His tail so longer and thorny
The teeth never knows brush
And the legs home of fleas
Crescendo or diminuendo
This witty partner wriggles
With the wet mouth open
I fear for virus infection
And comes the foot work
Clumsily my feet he steps on
His tail slaps my open body
School pupil victim always
The audience my savior
Watches from secure hilltops
With no one to save me here
The ugly dance is everlasting
