Eighth Grade Dance

Henry was hopping around on a foot or three
we all laughed at him not realizing 
he was grabbing the girls attention

We were in eighth grade
all we cared about was our height
None of us was half as tall as the girls

I finally figured it out why Henry was a clown 
he was gyrating like a top 
flinging them here and there
we took his leftovers gladly
