Sir Studly's Dance Partner

Sir Studly put out his cigarette when the band played a minuet. Did he ask me to dance? You bet! And that’s when I began to sweat. No lessons had I, least not yet; still I stomped on the floor like a vet. Sir Studly soon began to fret; an assault on his toes I beset. Two small feet became quite a threat, not to mention my toe ring baguette! He did not see me as a coquette, as he came after me with a net. I must say I have no regret; there’s a lesson here I won’t forget: Make sure your dance steps are preset ‘fore you dance with a studly brunette.

Hello Carolyn … two left feet never helped me either. You're done a really top job here Carolyn. It's not easy finding a host of rhyming words that keep a story flowing - thank you - Lindsay

Sir Studly...love the name. It's a good thing the dancer who took the awkward steps wasn't the studly one, or your little toes would've suffered even more. Cute write, Carolyn.
