Dancing In Gertrude

There was a young lass from Gertrude 
    Who just loved to dance in the nude
           But she had two left feet
          She could not hold a beat
       To top it all off she was rude



  




* Gertrude is a ghost town in West Virginia

You go girl. I used writing my own style of poetry for healing, now I've moved on to other types of style. Miss you girl.

Well, this is one dance recital I don't want to see. With my luck, Gertrude would turn into a rude, lewd, nude DUDE. Enjoyed the humor, Alexis! Best wishes in the contest.
