Lifting My Mood

In a bit of a funk

I sat down and thunk

Of a means to elicit a smile,

‘Til the old thinking cap

Sent a flash that said, “Tap!”

Which I haven’t performed in a while.

 

So I dug out my shoes

And wood board that I use,

Found a video there on the screen,

Then I followed the steps

Which the teacher first preps

‘Til at last I could do the routine.

 

With the music at last,

Just a wee bit too fast,

I was able to tap out the dance

And it lifted my mood

Though my efforts, if viewed,

Would cause looks I’d describe as askance.
