Ode to Dancing Men

Oh Ladies!  Let us sing and praise
That hero of our modern days,
The man who braves despite his fears
And risks the gauntlet of cohorts jeers,
So afraid of looking like an ass---
Yet still he takes a ballroom class!!!

Romantic hero, each and every one
(Made fun of by his own dear son)
He does this just to show his wife
She's still his love and light of his life.
He wants a beer, to take a pass,
But still he stands in ballroom class!!!

With time he learns to hold his frame,
An unsung hero, not seeking fame,
He struggles on, knowing all the while,
The big reward is to see her smile.
He makes mistakes, he makes her laugh!
He's in ballroom --- for his "better half".

Romantic Hero wearing dancing shoes
Like a knight of old, his lady woos
Each dance he tries and eventually learns...
He rhumbas! He swings! Just watch those turns!!
No longer feeling like an ass
Now he has fun in ballroom class!!! 

Oh Ladies!  Let us heap with praise
That lump on the sofa who changed his ways,
That dashing man with the twinkling eye
Romancing his lady as he waltzes by.
Let us honor him! Surround with flowers
That hero who spent those many hours
Learning to dance with skill and grace ---
Simply to see the delight on her face.

Oh Brave Man!!  We women salute you!!
We  want to kiss your dancing shoe!!
You've learned to lead, and how to dip!
To ChaCha --- watch him move that hip!!
All ladies thank him, now, en masse
The Man in his first ballroom class!!!
