Dancing Duck

It sucks! 
Quacked the duck
I wanna dance the shuffle
yet all I do is waddle
When I cha-cha         cha
My beat's kinda blah-blah
Once, I did the moon-walk
It led to raucous squawks…

I’m feeling high and dry
With one thing left to try
The pals say I oughta
go waltzing on the water ~

Oh how I spin and glide
I’ve really found my stride
A smooth electric slide!

Hi Susan, You have penned a rhyme poem that is both witty and whimsical. The smooth transition between lines is another endearing feature. Well done Howard

Love this whimsical piece! In my ancient past, there was a strange "Disco Duck" record with a Donald Duck like voice splashing out some lyrics. How your poem takes me back. Be well. May your pen continue to flourish. Brian

hehe..they love to sing and dance in the islands alright and then laugh when the comedians break loose their moves esp. the older generation breakdancing. Sometimes, I just miss that but my mom used to drive me up the wall with her comedy too - as a kid, it was so embarrassing lol glad it got you laughing, my lovely fellow Micronesian :))
