Even when one is incapacitated with a broken leg or arm, one can still dance and the invitation to do a waltz is always welcome than being brushed aside......! Attitude is more important! Love your positive attitude!

I love this brilliant poem. It is like a dance quiz. Leg and ankle are a must for dance - to stamp, twist and turn. Arms and wrist are a must too, to hold the 'Mudras! Sans the hands and legs - one can dance in mind! :) Lovely MJ - 10+++

You have hit my Achilles heel, must be in the genes and will need a few generations to clear. Ho! Ho! Ho! Thanks Mj, some embarrassing memories came back.

Thanks, Loke. That is really funny. And yes, .there are days I can't even think the word 'dance' without embarrassing memories being dredged up..

M.J., couldn't resist looking this one up. Used to be scared to death with dancing. Before I knew it, I was twisting the night away. And almost twisted my ankle. Started doing the Limbo Rock. Almost broke my broken back. Just turned 65. Couldn't remember the last time that I had danced the night away. Thanks for the wonderful memories!

Richard, thanks so much for this great comment. I am so glad this poem brought back some memories. I can only say that, at best, I may have some memories of trying to dance! Thanks again.
