Saturday night at the Legion town hall,
c'mon down, we'll all have a ball.
c'mon down, we'll all have a ball.
Gertie and Hazel and Bertha and Rose,
get you raisin' your skirts and tappin' your toes.
Ethel's wrinkled fingers can still tickle those keys.
Mazie, her voice, please forgive that old scratchy wheeze.
The music? The ladies might all seem to loud,
but hearing aids were forgotten by most in the crowd.
There's bingo and poker. Beer, snacks and more.
Oh, no ~ someone threw peanut shells on the floor!
Sally 'n' Sam, our dancers supreme,
did fall on their arses. Call 911. Soon on the scene.
Walkers, canes, wheelchairs, too,
are all pushed to the side for the EMT crew.
Sweet Sally, poor Sam, their dancing will now end,
her busted ankle, his torn meniscus, weeks on the mend.
𝅘𝅥𝅮
But the band played on,
introducing their newest member,
and little mascot, JUNE the Cat,
who meowed her first live purrformance
during intermission.
Applause Please.
