A Maypole Dance

Boys opted to dance as the groups were selected, A boy paired off with a girl formed a group, The pole fifteen to eighteen feet affair, With ten different colored tough ribbons. The post stood centered within a big round, Colorful strips barely touched the ground, Along with other pairs we formed a circle; Each pair picking to hold them in their arms: The music began to play and we walked, Watching pair in front keeping steady pace, Each step kept drawing us near to the pole; Music stopped; restarting us to reverse. Next we wove around pairs in meshed styling, Ribbons pleating over the shinning pole, Evening sun shone with the rainbow shaft; Boys never returned to this silly craft.
