Syncopating Sisters

Once there were sisters in duet a pair that were tough to forget Their tap dancing was entwined as their two lives always aligned Rat a tat tat, rat a tat tat kinda sounded something like that Shuffle ball change, shuffle ball change shuffling shuffles hard to arrange First it was toys, then became boys dance routines turning into noise Decades spun by, twisted in beat well worn tunes that seem to repeat Life with children, illness and pain plays out its old classic refrain Tapping toe to heel, heel to toe sharing small joys, letting them go If life is a matter of fate staying in step is no debate Sense those feelings between sisters see all the passion it still stirs Couplet 123 Words 20 Lines Colored pencil and ink illustration by G.Gaul
