Michael"s Dance

Why do they grab their crotches frequently
   those dancers, rappers on MTV?
      I've tried, but still can't figure it out
         just what on earth that dance move's all about.


Must be a pop or hip-hop hand routine
   that crotch-clutching flick of a mannequin
      with nothing there that's meant to be obscene,
         but which these prudish eyes just now have seen.


But then if it's because of poor hygiene,
   the derma-doc must check what's in between;
      if they don't wash and scrub themselves real clean,
         like chimps with lice, they'll scratch, they'll make a scene.


No worry though, something could still be done:
   if they don't scrape the itch, it would be gone.
      Well, Michael Jackson, pop king of all climes,
         at fifty, still clutches his crotch fifty times!

Lol! Made me laugh! I don't know why that occurs either! I guess he was trying to convey to everyone that he was a male.:))-AA
