Hopping Madness
This week I went to learn a dance
The Teacher - he was excited
He welcomed us with open arms
Couldn't wait to get us started
He grabs his partner by the hand
He twirls her all around
"*This is what you'll all look like*"
I watch on without a sound 👀
The dance is called the Lindy Hop
It's very energetic
There's lots of bouncing up and down
A bit like calisthenics
This may be more than I can manage
As I'm quite old and frumpy
Hopping is a thing of the past
Coz my bodies fairly lumpy
After leaping around for half an hour
I break out in a sweat
My hair is plastered to my head
More attractive, I couldn't get
My hearts a beating double time
Way too fast for sure
If I can't make it slow down soon
I'm gona wind up on the floor
The first lesson nears it's end
My face is alarmingly red 🥵
My hopping more resembles a shuffle
Now I'm off home to bed
