JOSIE'S POEMS
Shadow Poems/Parody
By Josie Whitehead
WILL YOU DANCE A LITTLE FASTER?
This is parody/a shadow poem of
The Lobster Quadrille by Lewis Carroll
By Josie Whitehead
'Will you dance a little faster?'
Said a belle unto her beau.
'Your waltz has only two beats
And your foxtrot’s rather slow.'
'But my tango’s more than stylish
And just watch this pirouette! –'
'Now, don’t do something silly dear.
Stick with the minuet.
'I have noticed rather lately
That you step more on my toes,
But perhaps you cannot see too well
To dance those do-si-dos.
'You need rhythm for your dancing
And should move to match the beat.
Perhaps dancing’s rather tricky
For a man with two left feet.'
Copyright on all my poems
* Belle = beautiful girl
* Beau = A beau is an old-fashioned term for "boyfriend." (handsome man in French)
"Two left feet" = clumsy or awkward. Someone who
stumbles when they dance.
