Dance the Day Away

~ Dance the Day Away ~

  Wake up to a waltz
    Boogie out of bed

  Calypso-on your clothes
    Drum-roll downstairs

  Carumba 'round the kitchen
    Bunny-hop to breakfast

  Limbo into lunch
    Cha-cha as you chew

  ~ Mamba as you munch

Life can be a song and dance, if we can learn to relax - love dancing, but totally relaxed, never. My dad taught me all these dances when we used to go to Greek festivities that always had a dance at night, and my mom the Greek traditional dancing. Meanwhile was taught and learnt a lot through friends at parties and dates. This poem was great, it reminded me of my dad and him teaching me all the different dances - how about the tango and the cha-cha - HUGS AND BLESSINGS, Jennifer.

And sleep all day the next. You exhausted me...to also mention that the downstairs tenants were banging on the ceiling all day while I blissfully pranced around. Love it! Great advice.

Gershon I can picture you doing all these spectacular moves. Dancing with the stars has nothing on you...

Michael, you have quite an imagination. The only thing I can rock is a rocking chair -- and even then I have to be careful. lol.

That's so cute, Gershon, and you mentioned all the dances we once did :) Don't think I could bunny hop very far now...
