Easily Swayed

Let us all sing a happy song,
A Jolly national sing along
Melodies of Friendship and Praise
The past is becoming a misty haze,
When we hear voices loud and strong.

Let us all dance today,
Helping our troubles fade away
Dance any way you choose
With bare feet or high-heeled shoes.
Put your talents on display.

Let us all get the beat,
It is cool to feel the heat
Of the beating of drums and vibes too
The sexy saxophone and the Kazoo.
What a glorious musical treat.

Goodness, I've got carried away,
I'm afraid that I have to say,
I used to adore singing and dance
Music still puts me in a trance.
But now, I happily wave and sway.

Thank you, Mike, We all need to rest our troubled minds sometimes, and music and dance are the perfect way to escape the world's worries for a while; those of us who can't dance can still sway together in harmony. I am sending you a happy wave from Oz to wish you a harmonious week. Take care, Mike, Shirley
