The Dancing Plague

A waltzing woman was just enough to get the groove into town
Villagers joined in prancing around until they all fell down

Frolicking Frau of Strasbourg France was the queen of the dancing trend
A bizarre exhibit of bouncing Frenchmen danced until the end

A plague of footwork, a cavorting craze, a dance until the death
400 folk jumped and jived until they took their one last breath

Was it witchcraft? Was it a fever? Or maybe a punishment from god?
The only thing we can say for sure is that the dancing plague was odd
