Christy Stover Poet Rhyme

Hand Jive

I can do the mashed potato
oh yeah, baby, I can do the twist
I can even hand jive
so I'll write it out like this
   my hand dances with the pen
   gracefully across the page
   I stop to breathe now and then
   before continuing my glide across my stage
my mind is the choreographer
planning every subtle move
my heart is the director
and my soul gets me in the groove
    listenin' to that Rock 'N' Roll
    I shake it as I write
    life's rhythm flows through my soul
    will you hand jive with me tonight?
