A coming-out story.
Somewhat retiring by nature, the Lady decided
to go the show
as a favour for questioning friends
who rated it high
after inviting her to attend.
Somewhat retiring by nature, the Lady sat
in a corner, and quietly lent an ear
to background sounds
until the moment the drummer appeared
then guitars and finally
sexy saxaphones took over, clapping
began, arms raised higher,
some began to stand in the aisle
and others started to jive.
Somewhat retiring by nature, the Lady livened,
was struck to the core, and soon
she tingled inside
like never before ,and decided
to break all her rules.
As the sound of the beat got hotter and loud
she jumped to her feet
gyrated, and then astounded
herself, defeated them all,
left her previous shyness, now rocking her roll
she began having a ball.
That Lady caught fire, she went with the flow,
beat-inspired, she oscillated.
No partner desired, alone on the floor
she danced with abandon,then led a parade
of American jive.
The Lady scintillated,
and at the end she felt so alive.
Somewhat retiring by nature, the Lady came out,
but would blush at this vision being recounted,
yet seeing that Lady catch fire
was, in the opinion of most, undoubtedly
the show's highlight.
Always dance like there's no one watching! ;-)
