Curtis Moorman

Curtis Moorman is seventy five today
And I hope everything goes his way
His family will spoil him that I know
He deserves some cheer, rightly so
Won a twist contest when he was seventeen
Again at sixty seven, he was the best on the scene
Saturday night fever comes to mind
Golden feet Curtis was one of a kind
He dances no more and that is a shame
Many from the old days will remember his name
He answered the call from Uncle Sam
Proudly served his country in Vietnam
I've known Curtis a short time from here on the soup
But we've got one thing in common, we're part of the group
He composes some beautiful poetry 
See for yourself, I’m sure you’ll agree
So please join me and give him a loud cheer
I’ll toast him later with a glass of beer


Happy 75th Curtis, Have a great day.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/10/2018 6:46:00 PM He did and he thanked you for it . I just got the word from him in a Soupmail. Login to Reply Tom Cunningham Date: 11/11/2018 12:59:00 AM I remember now he soupmailed me. But it wasn't there as they delete them after six months. How the time flies

Amy Sell Date: 3/19/2018 12:29:00 PM I'm glad that maybe poetry is helping with the void left from no longer dancing, which must be a big void. My friend used to play piano for a gospel band, but now he has Parkinson's and can no longer play. He's taken up farming!
