You Should Be a Fan Dancer

You should be a fan dancer said Gypsy Rose Lee.
This would cure you of your shyness, you see.
Owl’s hearing was not great, he heard fern instead of fan.
I think I could dance with this fern, he said, “I am the man!”

So he hid behind the fern, and he danced to a tune.
He was encouraged by stars, woods, and an April moon.
You are right, he told Gypsy Rose Lee, so glad for your advice.
And he danced down the path through the tulips so nice.

Hmmmm...I don't think I have the body for it. Nor the rhythm!

Thank you Kim. I have to do something during the day to occupy my time when I am not in a classroom or listening to someone who is dying to see me.
