Notes About The Poem
I decided to try my hand at hosting a contest...Fair and Square humorous patter sayings. I hope I can figure things out as I go!

Fair and Square Dancing Patter Sayings

Humorous Patter Sayings

Bow to your partner now let's begin
Lift your skirts and kick his shin 

Hold it tight and jump and cuss
Don't worry you can't offend us

Get her back gents, catch her quick
Snap her bra lickadee split!

Ain't she red now but comon let's dance
If you never now’s your chance

Got two left feet so you can't walk straight
That's OK cause you can promenade 

Promenade up and promenade down
Your the purdiest girl in the whole durn town

Slap your knee and holler an’ wail
Bend on down and shake your tail

Tail, tail,  pretty little tail
If you pull it I won't tell

I won't tell no sir yes ma'am
Do-si-do, do it all again.

An interesting idea for a contest, but I must admit, I do not know what it is really about.. You have done a nice poem here..

That would be great! It's not the normal swing of things, not serious poetry, but I think it's fun! I hope you enjoy writing one! ;)

Square Dancing callers use rhyming sayings to instruct the dancers..."bow to your partner" Or " do-si-do". I love making up silly rhymes and lyrics so I thought it'd be fun to host a contest with this idea. In the contest description there are examples and a link to a video if your interested!
