Dancing Girls

Party seemed dull 
Music was boring
Nothing was happening
I was new to this group 
I did not know what to expect
I heard someone say “wait until Carrie and Selena get here!
I asked who they were.
“you’ll see,” everyone told me.  
An attractive couple of young women came in.
“is that?” No they kept saying over and over.
Carrie and Selena finally arrived.
They are the best! just wait!
I expected dancing elephants, and a six ring circus.
They were simple every day ordinary women
Until they began telling their tales.
They had all of us laughing and guffawing.
I never get tired of their stories.  
I could barely wait until their next party.  
Two women in their nineties turned the whole party around.  
I have to go.  They are now dancing on the kitchen counters

Caren...this would do well in the "Surprise Me" contest, for which I cannot seem to come up with a single idea. This would be great. I never anticipated who the two would be...dancing on the kitchen counters, eh?

It's a surprise ending contest sponsored by Charles Messina. This poem would be perfect for it, IMHO.
