In Your Pocket

My tap dance teacher told us

We should always be prepared

With an improvised routine

Based on the lessons he has shared.

 

“Just keep it in your pocket,”

Was his wise and kind advice,

“So if asked at an audition,

There’d be no need to think twice.”

 

Now, this class has mostly seniors,

Not a pro within the group,

And I’m certain not a one of us

Will try out for a troupe.

 

Yet, I think there is some wisdom

In that counsel to apply

To so many parts of life,

Which can be useful by and by.

 

For some knowledge “in your pocket,”

Which is always there to use,

Whether tap dance steps or trivia

May help stress to defuse.

 

Still, before it’s “in your pocket,”

You will have to know it cold

And the confidence that brings you

Will be worth its weight in gold.
