Country Hoe Down

Crack that whip, jerk the line, Let's start dancing it's no time to dine. First you holler, then you sing All join hands and make a ring. Now if you please circle wide, spread right out like an old cow hide. Feed the Hogs, brand the calf, Swing your honey once and a half Now you switch on the heel and toe Come gals and cowboys, don't be slow. Allemande left with the corner maid, Meet your own and promenade. Everybody swing and whirl Swing 'round and 'round with your pretty little girl. Do si do don't you know, You can't grab a rabbit until there's a snow. Bow to you partner and the corner miss, To the opposite lady just blow a kiss. Chicken in the bread pan scratching out gravel, get your maid & away you travel. Lassies to your seats and gents you foller Thank the fiddler and kiss the caller Sponsor: Shadow Hamilton Contest Name: HOE DOWN Collaboration By Seren Roberts/ Maurice Yvonne 11~10~2014

hahaha, this is wonderful! I too have done this one with someone that asked me last week and soon I will be showing it now that Shadow has changed her rules and allowed both poets to enter the same poem. you guys really kept to that theme of the square dancing music. I did the same thing, Maurice, in my part of this collaboration . I mentioned the terms from square dancing. I had to be the "boy" in grade school when we practiced. But I LOVED square dancing. Good luck, you guys dis a great job.
