The cats are prancing with a cha cha cha
Chick a boom a chick a boom a rah rah rah
We hire out for birthdays the little one said.
They were throwing fish in the air, many were dead.
The cats are prancing with a cha cha cha
Chick a boom a chick a boom a rah rah rah
We are cheap and available all day long, they purred.
This was terrific news for the cat ladies who acted absurd.
The cats are prancing with a cha cha cha
Chick a boom a chick a boom a rah rah rah
We’ll pay whatever we have to, one of the old crones said.
Just then two dead salmon landed on the old biddy’s head.

There is an air of prancing fun
Elusive but lightly brewing
My candid heart feels her presence
Dare I warn the others?
Or simply watch the show
I elect to keep mum
People stop arguing.
Husbands embrace their wives.
Toddlers with tears begin to smile.
The angels are here
Ancestral drama alleviated and dissipated

We called them the Prancing Family.
They pranced around their old Grandmother
Worrying about making her mad
How she could have been any madder, we never knew.
When grandma died, they started prancing around
their father, her son.
“He pouts,” one told me.
I had never seen this, but I was not his child.
Two of them lived at home their entire life,
prancing around dad, trying to please him.
Out-guessing what he might want for dinner.
“Why not just ask him?” I suggested.
That might have meant less pussy-footing
And certainly less prancing, so they were not up for that.
Many neighbors never got to know the Prancing Family
Too busy leading their own lives to worry about all that prancing.
I was one of those, I am glad to report.
I did not even know their names, not sure anyone else did either.
I know one thing, they were the best role models for a life I
Never wanted to lead, so I thank them for that.

Prancing through midnight fire
I called my soul to surrender
She laughed
Diabolically
Shocked at my daring
and my failure to train myself
even in death, I pulled out the big guns
Plastering her with truth in leaden forms
She refused to comply
Making me angry, but also
infuriating me, as I was losing her respect
Which was the only thing I thought I would have in the end
Silly me.

Dancing prancing
cry cry cry
Whirling twirling
die die die
Up on the roof top
Laughing with maniacal glee
Saddest moment ever
Keeping this to myself, as you can see
Shopping, buying everything in sight
Wishing someone would unplug me
Or turn out the light
Life of the party, collecting strangers all around
Falling fast, and hard, maybe to never again
Fully be found.
Dancing prancing
Cry cry cry
Bi-polar fun.
Why? Why? Why?

The idiosyncrasies of a semi idolised biscuit is often symbolised by riotous clapping sessions. By camels who love to crunch. But a crunch is neither a cream, a crevasse, a cape nor is it a crammed carton. So in fact is it better to rise then fall or fall then rise? In many a disguarded apron lies the epitome of expertise in experimental expeditions. But not whilst cleaning out the shower for that brings forth notes and vast arias of synchronised sounds from the sink. A snoring is often akin to the sweet sounds from a cast iron twenty foot long boar. Whose epic dreams of parachuting are often thwarted by the passing of the seasonal shrouded shams. But this is never to be released by mr shampoo bottle as shampoo bottles are too simple to simplify and to simplify is to simply signify significant stirring sticks. And there is the glow from the morning brew. Winking. Waiting. Z harpsichordist Z at 33 feet looking for 8 pairs of socks. X c v b q x and a big rotating Z

Loves To Be Prancing
Trump does look devilish when he is dancing;
He and Billy Boy Bush bragged about romancing;
Woman grabbing,
And back-stabbing;
With him as a candidate should not be chancing.

Don't stop me now something brilliant's gonna happen
A masterpiece of outstanding proportions you sure can't dampen
A master chef in the kitchen
True greatness can't be hidden
As I prance around so stunning in my silks and satins

Long legged pixie hop. Circles in the grass. Encircled by the firelights. Duties in the pass. Awaken one oh global one. Assisting virally everyone. Mission paths on grasses. Enshrouded in such myth. Vital is the work of the coexisting cobra clan whose addresses to clams bring atunement. Timely in any environmental era. Couplets in goblets and patriotic frogs. Question not the passing passionate wisdom of a fried onion bap. With sauce. Mate always with harmonious courage and exact comedy. Movements of a fruit bake in a frilly skirt. Rapid is the judgement of a peeled potato. Succumb not to icing. Ski scrambled schools schooling scholars solarium solar systems structures dish dots dash haha xx compass. Xxz. Cup of tea then is it? Want some tea? Good. *** beautification *** ha ha ha xx classification ***

We are the children of the dry ground;
A dust bowl of empty arid fields
is all our eyes espy
On barren land
…our voices cry
Clouds darken as we watch the sky;
Carousel dreams of balloons
filled with water
ready to burst
… our voices sing!
Romping the horizon, riding high…
Thunder prances its hooves
as lightning ripples
our rainbow visions!
…our voices rejoice!
Dissipating dreams of children’s wishes…
Merry-go-around horizon winds
chase rain laded clouds
from our view
…in unison we sigh
We are the children of the dry ground…
Hope remains within our vision
Waterless day dreams
evaporate our vision
… our voices cry

She rides a horse 'pon the merry-go-round
The decorated carousel endorse
Memories of long ago now astound
She rides a horse
Carousel music wind up tinkling sound
Sights, scents, food all pleasures reinforce
One enjoyable night forever now renowed
Long ago, short time together, love's course
In my aged mind those happy times rehearse
'Pon the carousel round and round and round
She rides a horse
I don't remember what form that this was...
Just guessing Rondeau..
