Notes About The Poem

This is a mix of the following songs:  Twist and Shout, Skip to My Lu, Boot Scooting Boogie, Watermellon Crawl, Hookie Pookie, and Meet in the Middle.  

Kids and Country

Shake it up baby, twist and shout.
Swing your partner round and round,
dip down spin around do-si-doe.
Rock back to your heals, 
drop down to your knees,
stick your right arm in,
stick your left arm out,
do the boot scotin boogie,
turn yourself around
and meet in the middle.

The Situation June 27, 2023 at 6:18 PM We experienced it. Kids today have no ideal. What happened to the running around in the neighborhood? Miranda Hawley June 27, 2023 at 6:19 PM Gen Xers (those in my age group) yeah we were basically the last group too. Thanks!

Victor Buhagiar June 25, 2023 at 8:44 AM If I were not old, Miranda, I would start dancing. Lively poem. Miranda Hawley June 25, 2023 at 9:21 AM Old might be a state of mind as compared to a number. Dancing might make you feel a little younger than you are. Example it might turn a middle aged 40's to a 30 something, at least in feelings.
