The Dance

Infinite pirouette
I fret
Shame
Once the child started
It was the best one yet
Hands out
Hands in
Hands down
All with a grin

Standing room
Imminent doom
Always a bridesmaid
Never a groom
Bare flesh
Bear ring
Can’t bear
To hear them sing

And so it goes
Bloody toes
As it stands
The best of shows
Make you laugh
Make you cry
Never knowing
The reason why
