Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Why is Dancing out of Style

  
     Why did dancing go out of style
        I don’t think it’ll be back for a while

     Why did rap music become a thing
       It’s like listening to week-old refried chicken wings

     And when did art degenerate into indoctrination
        It speaks to the dumbing down of this nation 

     Summing things up, I’d say ~
        Our culture’s been left to hyenas and vultures

Karen Jones September 1, 2025 at 8:24 PM Well I don’t think dancing went out of style! I am biased as a former toe tap and jazz dancing student. As for rap not all raps are the same. The good ones are simply poems with a beat and meaningful message. Did you hear my rap song Because You Drink & Drive? I do sing a tiny bit in the chorus but think the message is needed today. Hugs not to toot my own horn.

Robert L. Hinshaw September 1, 2025 at 9:54 AM Great write, Gershon! Can you imagine trying to dance cheek-to-cheek with the irritating "noise" called music today. Give me the big band music of yesteryear which will stand the test of time! Good on you! Bob H

John Lawless September 1, 2025 at 5:50 AM I find it appalling that you would heap such vitriolic venom on the hyenas and vultures....have you now shame...one tow three....kick....one two three...kick....

sara Etgen-Baker September 1, 2025 at 3:18 AM applause! Well said, Gershon. I especially liked verses 2 and 3. Summing it up, I think our world is more than dysfunctional, it's psychologically unsound
