A Dancer's Dilemma
The dancer Mark Balas*
Had a gig down in Dallas,
But the welcome he got there was rough.
They said, "Mark, we're refusin',
There's been some confusion,
We thought we had hired Derek Hough*.
Without breaking eye contact,
Mark produced his contract,
Showed his name there
Then said with restraint,
"You don't want that prancer,
I'm a much better dancer,
And besides, I'm here
And he ain't."
*Two of my favorite "Dancing With The Stars" pro dancers.
