Best Boogied Poems

I was dancing and prancing 
And singing whooped Dee Dee
Not realizing I was not alone
Until he opened his shirt to me

He threw out the mayo, some jam and some jelly, a real hoot.
I caught the chocolate milk in midair, he was dancing up a toot.
He...

I had the craziest time at the Squigglehawk ball
all the Frazzlefairies were bouncing off the wall,
Jellyfunts were swinging their enormous trunks
as they boogied away with pongalicious skunks

Young Squigglehawks gyrated in the balmy air
wearing pink tutus but their fannies were bare
Their antics created a humderendous kerfuffle
Pa...

Is dance a metaphor for sex?
You’d think so if you knew my ex
(at least the barflies all believe
she’s hoarding something up her sleeve).
But what makes people want to dance?
An aural frenzy? True romance?
Would Hamlet, Shylock or Macbeth
ever dance themselves to death?
Strasbourg is the kind of...

I went to a monster party,
At Castle Frankenstein;
With lots of food and spirit,
The fun kicked off at nine!

Ol' Frankie did the robot,
I stepped to a jitterbug;
The floor began to quake,
We really cut the rug!

I moved on to a sexy witch,
We slid across the room;
I broke...

Away with work 
Up Kaitaia way
I’d driven for miles
I’d driven all day.

In a beautiful place
I was feeling alone
So great was the distance
Between me and my home.

I came round a corner
To see works on the road
What gave me the grin
Was a sight to behold.

A stop go...

I was movin' and a groovin'... 
At my high school dance 
Twist'n and a bump'n... 
Wear'n wholly pants
 
The band had played some music... 
I was feelin' kind of stuck 
When I saw the kids a dancin'... 
To the disco duck

I had to think of...

At the last day preschool picnic
There were blankets on the grass
Which the tots ran over freely
If that way they had to pass.

There were pastel-frosted cupcakes
(Health food banished for a day)
And the slides and sandbox filled with kids
In joyous outdoor play.

But the draw for my two...

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A BEAUTIFUL DELTA WOMAN AND A STRONG OMEGA MAN.

WHO MET WHILE AT THE INSITITUTE OF HIGHER LEARNING.

SHE HAD BEAUTIFUL BLACK HAIR IN THE SHAPE OF A CIRCLE SHE WAS A FOXY MAMA.

My knees have helped me always.
From my crawling toddlerhood
To my trike, then 2-wheeled riding,
If I needed them, they would…

Let me walk for many miles,
Help me climb up many stairs;
Do aerobics in a gym class,
Reach for shelves from tops of chairs.

On my knees, I’ve dug and...

We clustered on the dance floor
At the edges, though we danced. 
You might have missed us if
Into the room you'd quickly glanced.

The energetic dancers 
In the middle of the crowd
Jumped and boogied in stilettos
To the music pulsing loud.

Our old moves were more subdued
And, although we...

A Halloween party on Zoom
Wouldn’t be too much fun, you’d assume
But you would be dead wrong
For I boogied along
With my daughter in our living room.

All the Zoomers wore costumes and danced
And the camera had each one enhanced
To fill up the whole screen
So each person was...

The heebie-jeebies came by to play.
I promptly shooed them straight away.
Come on they said as they jiggled and jived.
But my long-awaited guest had just arrived.

Hey! What is happening? She asked with pure happy.
It’s the heebie-jeebies, kind of fun and sappy.
I recognize them now! She said...

I think he comes from the Tangerine Sun, she said.
I wondered about this, but she added his name was Tedd.
He’s cool and suave, debonair, fancy, gloriously bright and keen.
I think he’s a star of some kind, a consort to their queen.

I had to see this...

ZuZu Woman Blues



          That really was her name!
          Moved to a new city with eyes,
          body and ears...

We rarely do events at night
But dinner went ‘til after 9,
So new-found friends convinced us
To join in and we could not decline.

A trio played - most songs we knew -
And people boogied to the beat,
Yet even when our friends got up,
I watched them, comfy in...
