Dance

Rowine Conley

Old time, new time, Rhythm and rhyme
Dance!
Take a chance
Cha cha cha
Come on in
Everybody spin
Cha cha cha

(Musical interlude)

Get on your pony
Do the twist
Macaroni
Flick of the wrist
Yankee Doodle
It's time to dance
Let the music move you
Take a chance
Cha cha cha
Come on in
Everybody spin
Cha cha cha

(Musical interlude)

Jazz, tap, hip-hop, ballet
Mix it up Maestro
Take it away
Country, rock or soul
Go ahead and let it roll
Cha cha cha
Come on in
Everybody spin
Cha cha cha
Old time, new time, rhythm and rhyme
Dance!

Rowine Conley

Writing is not something I do--it's something I am. I have been a wordsmith since before I could write. I have now written 2 novels, 6 children's books, several short stories, and boxes full of poetry. I am now disabled but I still have a day job. I have 7 sisters, a dog and 2 cats (one has only 3 legs), A daughter, numerous "God-daughters", A son, and a few "God-sons". I am Extremely Biblical though I don't really follow organized religion. God is my life and I have truly been blessed-For God By God...Peace Out__Gypsy Row more…
