Dance with glee…a chance to be silly

jacquelineobyikocha

elephants - jokes123I love to dance,
Indeed, I do.

My blood thrums at the
Rhythm of musical vibes.

Anything that beats, gets a rise off me

But, hold on!
Don’t be mistaken when I say that.

Don’t you start thinking of
Ballroom dancing, Waltzing, Tango and the likes.

For sure, these are such fine footwork.

But I am more into the demonstrative Afro Pop,
Waist rolling, Eye rolling, Expressions and
staccato moves. Almost like a war dance that borders on dodgy.

I think that the twirls and frills of the fine footwork,
Are more reserved for the delicate that
Can twirl and toss themselves at the click of your thumb.

Me! If you know me at all,
Almost an African Amazon,
Not small by half a mile!

I chortle in laughter when I visualize myself,
Trying to Tango, in my Bou-bou or skirt.

It would probably be like an Elephant stumping through a China shop,
And breaking the ten toes of my partner and more
Phew!

A bead of sweat breaks on my forehead,
At such a thought 😉

Now let me go and rest, after such exertion of my mind.

P.S. Enjoy the music below, courtesy of YouTube.

A wordsmith with a vivid imagination, an eager mind and a burning desire to carve out tales. As I journey with my muse to that land of all possibilities and self discovery, I hope my personal evolution will serve as a beacon of inspiration for anyone who chooses to stop by.

  3. Thank you for the music! It will provide the background noted for my day. And just so you know I am no elegant dancer. I enjoy throwing in moves like ‘ walk like an egyptian’ and flapping my arms like a chicken. You are right – it is my chance to be silly and oh so much more fun when done without reservation.

  6. Now you have really done it, Jacqueline! I’m out in my yard, doing my silly dance. The neighbors will surely be calling the police soon, but the joke’s on them. The never-ending road crew has returned today and there’ll be no coming and going on this road for quite some time. Those guys love it here in the woods of South County. Maybe I should just dance on down to the end of my driveway. That most certainly would scare them away for good. Thank you for a lovely reprise from yard work in the hot, summer sun.

      1. Luckily, I live in the woods and my neighbors can only hear what’s going on in my yard. Their imaginations must run wild sometimes, when the weird neighbor lady comes outside to dance to the music in the air.
