Strictly

Ronald Watson

(0ne two three)

This is me

Dancing a

Waltz (two) with

Too many

Faults (two). The

Lady I'm

Holding is

Doing her

Best (two) to

Fathom my

Movements; she

Knows how to

Dance but ex-

pects me to

Guide her a-

round the dance

Floor; (two) there's

Really no

Chance.(two) We

Try to con-

verse but this

Makes things much

Worse and I

Wisely sug-

gest that it's

Probably 

Best if we

Admit de-

feat and go

Back to our

Seat and watch

Those who can

Do it en-

joy this un-

natural

Act, designed

For folk with

Three (two three)

Left (two three)

Feet (two three).

  • ANGELA & BRIAN

    HI RONNIE ~ WELCOME TO MPS ! Thanks for your first Poem ~ Love the shape ! From line 12 you highlight a common problem faced by most Men ! Ladies are taught to dance @ School ~ but Men (with two-left feet) are expected to lead. Its the opposite with CRICKET ! My FIANCEE ANGELA (with whom I share this site) is a Flemenco Dancer and a good Ballroom Dancer. I am competant but I often reach a *point of no return* (as you suggest in line 25) and I long to go back to the BAR ! Ladies hate to leave the floor and often resort to dancing with a Female friend ! My MUM loves STRCTLY and also watches TAKE TWO wit Zie Ball @ 6:30pm ! Thanks for sharing more please ! Please check the Poems on our site !

    Yours BRIAN & ANGELA !

    Thanks for this. I can play very complicated rhythms but can't dance for toffee!
