Dancin' karen





TRIPLES with EMMA




<
/td>





I received a message and a Dancin' Karen from a dear friend,
Betty Boop………of course, what could I do~~~
But write a poem ~~~~

When I was young and in my prime,
I went dancing' all the time.
Rock and roll was really ‘cool',
And I loved Elvis (I ain't no fool)

Then Chubby Checker came along
And I danced the ‘Twist' to his latest song,
Then the ‘Mashed Potato' and the ‘Swim'
All that dancing' helped to keep me trim.

After I married I was "more sedate",
We went to dances, but never stayed late.
Slow dancing, the two-step, and the waltz,
Together we really showed some "smaltz".

Dancin' with my husband was something I adored,
When we went dancing'~~~~we were never bored.
The best dancing' we did was in our own livin'room,
I felt like a bride, and he was my groom.

So oft' I've told this story of my romance,
And how my hubby and I just loved to dance.
A dear friend of mine named ‘Betty Boop'
Made a present for me, and here's the scoop.

She found a dancer, yes-sir-eeeee
And pasted a head on, and it looks like me!!!!!
Thanks Betty for the good ‘belly laugh'
Does anyone want my ‘autograph'????
