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! posted October 9, 2016 entered in Frank Herrera's Zany Poetry Contest November 27, 2016 Date: May 25, 2019 Contest Title: Pick a Title, Vol 5--A Macabre Dance Sponsor: Edward Ibeh

DANIEL, I'm just now realizing I called you TIM earlier! I am sorry. As I told Galeo, I hope whatever's wrong with me is temporary! Janice

"They did the mash, the monster mash. The Monster mash, it was a graveyard smash." I love it Janice. Now I'll be singing that song all day. Lol
