RIVERWOODS POEMS: DANCE TIME

DANCE TIME

There’s a time for Ring Around the Rosy,

Musical chairs and Farmer in the Dell,

And a time for jitterbug, electro-pop,

Disco, Eurobeat, New Wave as well.

And then we do the wedding march and waltz,

Virginia Reel and polka and all that

Or mambo, samba, tango, lindy et al.

Before the final shuffle with the walker.

So when the caller hails you to the dance floor

Kick up your heels and swing your partner round.

Promenade and bow and dos si dos.

Make the most of your time on the ground

Before the lights begin to turn down low,

The Exit sign above the door to glow.
