Howard Osborne Poet Rhyme

DANCES ARE SQUARE

DANCES ARE SQUARE

There are some dances where different people meet
Exchanging partners enhances the social opportunity
When one glances at another, it makes it all complete

Whether old-fashioned such as the cotillion or quadrille
There’s only one in a million who dances with impunity
As these days, perhaps a civilian or maybe military still

Sword and morris dancing are old and seen as outdated
But as dance steps gradually unfold it does require unity
And bold but ageing onlookers wish they hadn’t waited

Kim Rodrigues August 27, 2024 at 11:31 AM Well done, Howard! People meet, exchange partners, old-fashioned (they weren’t in their day ;) ), all sorts of dances, and the onlookers who never danced. I was never great at it but had a little fun. I bet you tore up the rug!!
