Lifting My Mood

In a bit of a funk I sat down and thunk Of a means to elicit a smile, ‘Til the old thinking cap Sent a flash that said, “Tap!” Which I haven’t performed in a while. So I dug out my shoes And wood board that I use, Found a video there on the screen, Then I followed the steps Which the teacher first preps ‘Til at last I could do the routine. With the music at last, Just a wee bit too fast, I was able to tap out the dance And it lifted my mood Though my efforts, if viewed, Would cause looks I’d describe as askance.
