\"Happy<\/p>\n

BLUES VS. RHYTHM<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

As twenty-thirteen began,
\nI was a sad and morose man.
\nMany things weren’t going right.
\nThe future was not looking bright.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Then Bettie’s challenge stirred my toes,
\nand quickly my low spirits rose.
\nFeet were tapping, rhythm grabbed me,
\nwhen these YouTube dance tunes nabbed me.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Fred Astaire in salty limelight
\nshowed what made him a delight.
\nFosse’s choreography’s new touch
\nFervently moved me very much.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

But perhaps the most sublime
\nwas music from my own teen time.
\nBeach Boys’ magic, “Dance Dance Dance”
\nstill stirs my soul to joyous trance.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

And so from doldrums I break free.
\nSuddenly a new me I see.
\nFrom stooped I take a bolder stance:
\n“Do ya do ya do ya do ya wanna dance?”<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
