John Lawless Poet Rhyme

Contrarian Two Step

Some call me a contrarian
because I shun the Conga Line
observe the strange gyrations
of a movement serpentine.

I stand alone, often dismayed
they chide me: “C’mon take a chance.”
I dare not tell them that I can’t
Cuz I never learned to dance.

Gershon Wolf October 20, 2021 at 5:42 PM Very clever, John. You're no snake either, so I guess the 'Serpentine Slide' just ain't your cup o' tea! Smiles for miles, Gershon
