Amazing Feets!

We've all seen and heard of amazing feats over the years, That have elicited our respect, applause and raucous cheers! Brave souls have scaled Mount Everest, others are skilled at skeets, While others gracefully excelled with their amazing feets! Gauche is he who doesn't applaud the ballerina in lacy tutu, As she gracefully leaps and twirls on heel and toe with little ado! Or thrill as the fleet running back keeps balance on his feets, Deftly evading a three-hundred pound tackle and his deadly cleats! Gene Kelly's dancing in "Singing In The Rain" is etched in our minds, So nimble on his feets, performing graceful gyrations of all kinds! Fabulous is the man in "top hat, white tie and tails", Fred Astaire, As he and Ginger Rogers dazzled us with their eloquent flair! "Bojangles" Robinson "tapped" his way across the American stage. He set the standard for tap dancing in its Golden Age! The amazing feets of "Bo" and Shirley Temple in "The Little Colonel!" That classic film is yet shown today and will remain eternal! The delight in watching the flying feets of Marge and Gower, Would bring a smile upon the face of even the most dour! There is no dearth of dancers, tight wire walkers and athletes, Whose amazing feats have thrilled us with their amazing feets! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired (© All Rights Reserved)
