White Mans Dance

A White Man ,

 Once upon a time , long , long ago,

 Gave a glint of a hint to a now, wildly popular show, 

Like a wallflower, electrified with an unseen superpower,

 he let his feet go, 

All of a sudden, there was magic in the air,

 people started to stare, at the moves at once strange, yet somehow also magnetically debonaire, 

who would have thought, generations later children would be taught, 

these moves for an entire race ,so long sought, 

and those people at Missy,s party who looked askance, 

now realize they had the first chance, 

to see the initial phase of the Nationwide Craze, 

The Whiteman,s Dance!!!
