Notes About The Poem

A Song Stuck In My Head

Excuse me while I do the Cha-Cha-Cha
    All by my lonesome. I wouldn't mind if 
  The whole human race watches, or points 
   At me laughing because my two left feet
           Know not what they're doing.
      Ha! My dancing is funny to me, too.
       My favorite song suddenly started
            Skipping beats in my head
             Over, and over, and over.
           It's as if a broken turntable 
             Isn't moving the needle!
      Hell if I care; fun is fun regardless!
    I find myself groovin', my butt shakin', 
                My happy feet tappin'
         Half of my ten fingers snappin'
         Don't ask, my friend, don't ask.
             I don't know why myself!
                 Perhaps it's because 
              My dancing fool of a soul
        Is being massaged by happiness?
