Embarrassing Moment
I have had some embarrassing moments in my life for sure,
Well, there was the time in Grade One when I peed my pants;
At a dance once, three girls wore the same dress as me,
And one day wearing high heels I tripped on the bus.
But I think the most embarrassing moment came not long ago,
I fancied myself a dancer so I joined a local jazz group;
Not some one evening a week deal but the real thing, a school,
We rehearsed three times a week and at home.
Of course, to be a dancer one must look the part of a dancer,
So I invested in shoes and outfits and all the sparkle;
We were rehearsing for a Christmas recital in a theater,
And I knew all my steps, they were etched in my mind.
The night of the recital I was so nervous, well we all were,
We were on stage and my family and friends had come;
The music started and I forgot every single step, I froze,
When a part for spinning came, I spun myself away.
I hung up my jazz shoes after that and never went back,
Embarrassing stuff happens in life and no one ever dies;
But it can still dwell within and hurt your confidence and pride,
Oh as a little girl, I put my hair clip in a electric outlet,
once . . .
