Teen Town Dance - Dwm

We were paired up by Teen Town A TV show from Des Moines Nancy and Ed were there, our idols They had us all line up. No one thought about height. They lined the boys on one side The girls on the other I was in seventh grade. My sister got a nice short guy I got the tallest boy ever born Worst time ever I was staring at his belt buckle Frankly I do not know Which one of us Was the most horrified Written March 14, 2020 Contest: Dance with Me Sponsor: Kim Rodriguez

Best wishes, Caren.. I was thinking of Soul Train when I read your poem. Dances are learning events for us all. Sometimes nice...many times felt sillyL Panagiota xx

It was like that - but more local, from Des Moines, Iowa - a local tv show just sixty miles north of my home town.
