No Astaire

Fred could not dance, He wanted a chance, To learn, So he could court a girl, To hold in his arms, And show off his charms, When they twist and twirl. Fred had two left feet, He could not compete, With the other boys fancy moves. No matter how hard he tried, All the girls cried, Laughing, As he tried to get into the groove, He wriggled and squirmed, Like an elongated worm, He was a sight to see. A young girl looked at fred, And loudly, she said. He dances alright for me!

I love it that he found the perfect dance partner. "No matter how hard he tried, All the girls cried," This made me sad.

I love this poem, Shirley. It proves my point that there is someone for everyone. She and Fred probably hit it off just fine!

Some of the couples that look mismatched have the most enduring marriages.... Marriages of heart and minds...
