Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Macabre Dance

Fred was taking a break after working hard for weeks 
		to find a cure for awkwardness for guys like him--geeks.
		He dreamed of being suave. Oh, how he wanted to dance!
		But work and having two left feet denied him the chance.
		The door flew open then. In came a tall, robust girl. 
		She clambered over, yanked him up, and gave him a whirl.
		She said, “My name’s Fran Frankenklutz. I’ll teach you some moves.
		I’ll show you how a gal like me gets with the beat and grooves.”
		They did the Monster Mash so well with their four left feet.
		They are a couple now—the happiest you'll ever meet!
