Shimmy Shim Shim

Elmer loved the drip drip drip sound of April rain
Under comfort of a leaf umbrella, he heard the refrain
It reminded him of his childhood, he felt loved again.

His mother would have been extremely proud of him.
He looked in the pond and saw his old Uncle Jim.
Shimmy shim shim, he sang. “Shimmy shim shim!”

The Shimmy

Curiosity mounts as the crowd gathers on the hill. Curiosity mounts as the banner stood still. The well that fed me from my youth has open from the mouth and the ships on the sea began to move in perfect harmony.  Shrouded in secrecy it stands behind the veil, shrouded in secrecy I took

Santa Can'T Shimmy No More

Santa can't shimmy down chimneys no more.
"My belly won't fit through the flue," he swore!
The reindeer hid a smirk
When Santa went berserk
Fatty Claus will have to sneak in the door

Shimmy

it is a shame
even in some
ways a sham
but i am trying
to reverse some
things like super
man flying back
wards against the
rotation of earth's
gravitational pull

so let me take
your hand but
promising to
give it back
after we 
have taken
a relaxing
dip in our
genetic
pool

A Quirky Joint Where Cats Shimmy

A bejeweled trumpet-playing cat?
You are putting me on, right?
Seriously, she’s in town Saturday. I have two tickets.

If I could get a sitter, I might do that.
“Sitters are easy, get one.”
If you have not guessed, my friend has no children.

It is a quirky joint, where cats shimmy down
poles, wearing brief twinkly costumes,
dancing outrageously, wiggling yellow 
neon

fog dances shimmy 
rising from the slight hollow

Dancing Shimmy With Jimmy

My lala mal flats is skinking like that
Shimmy, Jimmy, gimme some of that hat
We're fleshing and flexing, cheek to cheek
meshing, on do-own
Shimmy, little Jimmy will ya break a my heart?

My pushaloopa swish swash skirt
gonna twirl you, swirl you, send you out a this world
Shimmy, Jimmy, don't you walk out on me,
Lay me low, down, lay
