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.
