L Milton Hankins Poet Monorhyme

No Dancing, Please

Lord, deliver me from pride-filled arrogance
For it is perfectly clear, I should not dance,
No matter how much I envy others’ their prance.
These days I dare not even risk the chance
I should've known, I saw the bouncer glance,
But that disco beat actually had me in a trance.
Years of practice my dancing did not enhance,
Last time I tried, they showed me the entrance!

Delice Arleen Skelly December 16, 2021 at 5:36 AM I am remembering Rock-and-Roll...those were the days...Delice L Milton Hankins December 16, 2021 at 9:12 AM Yes, they were, Delice. I still like disco very much. When I go to Mexico, they are still in the disco period, and I get to hear the old songs like "I Will Survive"...you know, the good stuff!

Regina Mcintosh December 15, 2021 at 3:14 PM So cute! I really don't know how to dance! Love this. God bless you always. Love, Gina L Milton Hankins December 15, 2021 at 3:49 PM Thanks so much, Gina. Well, I danced when I was a kid, but my dancing days are long gone! I started this one with something entirely different in mind, but it sort of ran away with me. Do you ever have a poem take over your thoughts?
