Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

The 1 'N 2 Step

I don’t know who is more excited 
At the thought of my weekly visits
Me or the old folks at the residence

I bring along some cheerful music 
and we limber up their appendages 
Swinging about at first up and down the arms
Then moving those corny feet from side to side

Let’s shake it out and let’s begin
We’re going to learn the 1 'n 2 step
All together we can all do this:

Put your LEFT foot out and pout
Bring it back, give it some slack
Now your RIGHT foot out and move it about
Bring it back, smile and hunch your back

And repeat  And repeat
Now you got the 1 'n 2 step down pat
So we’ll pump up the volume
And do it again but in unison
1 'n 2  and  1 'n 2
Don’t get too excited and hurt yourselves
You’re doing great
1 'n 2  and  1 n' 2
And that’s it… we’re done
Awesome work out
Practice and I’ll be back next week!
