No Goof

I don't dance like Fred Astaire.
My limbs flail wildly in the air.
From my pants, I heard a tear.
I don't really care
that you just stand and stare.

Indeed, I am entirely aloof.
My self-esteem is bullet proof
as I prance and gayly hoof. 
You may think I'm just a goof 
as I dance upon your roof.

Hey, I'm available to fiddle up there on the roof anytime. Want some accompaniment? My pants tear occasionally too. ~ Chayim Yankel
