Movement In the Key of Life

ears wiggle
       fingers waggle
     girls giggle
       customers haggle

     curlicues squiggle
       snail-pack straggles
     belly-fat wriggles ~
       survivors bedraggled

What?! The nuns didn't like curlicues?... Well, if the FBI investigated Shirley Temple, everything 'went' back in the day too...
