Dancing In The Moonlight

We laid out child 'one', like a battle plan
Chicken pox here, here and here.
We bought a bag of balmy oils

Said it was all for the best, but then .

The spot armies marched and one by one

They occupied , all of them

Now I have danced many times ,
Been hypnotised by soft brown hair
And curves in motion
Been ecstatic on a starlit groove
Shouted jumped and spun around
Lost myself in getting down

But the snow and the night said "Be still !

Do you think I am draped in sepulchral white

Silvered with moonlight

Crystalline and cold as marble

So you can do the funky chicken

The Waltz ,or even an arabesque ?"

And yet , so late

A bedroom light on

There is dancing and strange

incantations disturb the ice cathedral

“The wonderful thing about Henry
Is Henry`s a wonderful thing
His top is made out of rubber
His bottom is made out of Spring …"

We bopped and did a boogaloo

We sang the book of song

But they cried when we tried to put them back down

So we danced with the stars

All night long
