Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

Blame It On the Bossa Nova

 
There is a catchy tune recorded during an earlier day.
This recording was made by the talented Eydie Gorme.
Yes, she was the same one who was Steve Lawrence’s wife.
The song turned out to be the biggest hit of her life.
On a popular dance she wanted to put the blame.
The “Bossa Nova” was what ignited her love flame.
A handsome guy caught her eye; then she wanted to dance.
Eydie said that was what started her romance.
Just listen to the song if it is something you don’t know.
Perhaps you might be one to fall in love also.
