Five Fingers

(This is a Minute Poem written in strict iambic meter)

Five fingers guide me to the floor
I smile no more
I want to flee 
"Just dance with me."

In all the world I must believe
And do perceive
A gentleman
Waits for my hand.

Someone with whom my fate will lock
And mock me not
For here I am
With midget Sam.
