In the Daze of the Dance Craze

I’d never seen a Fox Trot nor a Jittery Bug Though whenever I’d Twist in agony I’d Shout But when a Hully became a Gully and Monsters like Potatoes were Mashed This Jerk got on his Pony ~ and Loco Motioned those Stoned Phonies

Lovely memories recalled. Especially the Locomotion. You’ve got to swing those hips now. Cheers, SuZ

C'mon, C'mon, C'mon -- Do the locomotion with me! ~ Loco, for sure

clever, nostalgic free verse. Gosh I remember those songs...nothing violent in them...easy to dance to and usually made us smile. My favorite from back in the day was the Monster Mash :-)

Memories of old songs still alive within us. High school dances were the best. Too timid to ask girls to dance. Enjoyed this entertaining poem. Don
