Homework W/E 29/08: Legends

Post by David Campbell » Fri Aug 19, 2016 11:23 am

Legends

© David Campbell 19/08/16

I’ve got some living legends,
they’re really pretty neat,
but I don’t call ’em legends,
to me they’re simply feet!

I’ve also got some feetends,
though any bozo knows
we shouldn’t call ’em feetends,
but piggly-wiggly toes!

When crooners start their crooning
I join right in and sing,
and let my dancing legends
and feetends do their thing.

I get that loving feeling
moon-walking back in time,
with memories of music
and Michael Jackson mime.

And when impersonators
try what my legends do,
they fall flat on their bumends,
and meet their Waterloo!

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Dear me, David!

The visual image of you moon-walking on your feetends will be etched on my mind forever!!

Thanks Maureen, Shelley and Robyn. Trouble is, my terpsichorean tripping usually results in planting my legends on other people's feetends!

Cheers
David
