Moonwalks and Missteps

Because even the stumbles have rhythm.

πŸŒŸβœ¨πŸ’ƒπŸŽΆπŸŒˆπŸŒŸβœ¨πŸ’ƒπŸŽΆπŸŒˆ

The fedora is a tad too great

The Moonwalk tried, but failed-

But new pavements when my laces break

And I dance to a Jackson thrill.

πŸŒŸβœ¨πŸ’ƒπŸŽΆπŸŒˆπŸŒŸβœ¨πŸ’ƒπŸŽΆπŸŒˆ

My umbrella turns inside out

Prance, but to a bus I miss –

I see a park I never saw

And a dog that serves to please.

πŸŒŸβœ¨πŸ’ƒπŸŽΆπŸŒˆπŸŒŸβœ¨πŸ’ƒπŸŽΆπŸŒˆ

My two left feet trip over a curb,

But I bump into a hapless friend-

She picks my mobile and keys a blurb,

On Facebook in the end.

πŸŒŸβœ¨πŸ’ƒπŸŽΆπŸŒˆπŸŒŸβœ¨πŸ’ƒπŸŽΆπŸŒˆ

Each Moonwalk tried, each stumble stalled-

A little dancing spark –

Life’s full of failures, stops and spoils,

But still a work of art.

πŸŒŸβœ¨πŸ’ƒπŸŽΆπŸŒˆπŸŒŸβœ¨πŸ’ƒπŸŽΆπŸŒˆ
