Ode to Swing Dancers

This was a Christmas poem for my sister.

Ode to Swing Dancers 12/25/13

 It's commonly known that the dancers of swing

Are one of the greatest of all of the things.

While everyone knows that this isn't a lie,

It's common to ask for the reasons of why.

As easy to ask as it is to reply,

Below are the reasons swing dancers are fly.

One: Swing dancers see the whole world as spinning

(Which it is, is it not? ever since the beginning.)

This fact merely proves that not only delightful,

But swing dancers also are rather insightful.

Two: Swing dancers keep both their feet on the ground,

But not all that firm as to keep them earth-bound.

They're prone to take off at the least provocation,

Whether Lindy or Charleston, it's like levitation,

Not flying, not walking, not hopping nor prancing,

Not magic nor earthly they just call it dancing.

With their grace and their charm they surpass all the rest,

Whether gentle or lady, swing dancers are best.

If you doubt, simply watch, just observing them twirl

And you'll realize these folks are unmatched in the world.
