Ballet

Bored at school
I decided to play the fool
By doing a little dancing for my friends.
A mixture of ballet 
taught by my sister Sally
and a little bit of tae kwon do.
My teacher walked in 
and with a knowing grin 
made me promise to repeat it for the Christmas show.

Dressed in my tutu
Fishnet stockings and a boob tube
Little Daz was ready for the stage 
''I love to boogie '' was the tune
and I found very soon
My pirouettes were all the rage.
I heard the howls of laughter
The applause that came soon after
and knew my little dance had been a hit
I would repeat the dance for you
like good friends ought to do
but I'm afraid I can't just find a tutu to fit.

Thank you SKAT Quite willing to don the tutu and put on a show . Ballet shoes are a problem because I have huge feet but I could wear a pair of wellingtons.
