A Recipe for Dancing

Take two arms, let them fly and swing
Take two legs, let them twist and spin
Whirl them round in a swirling churn,
Flick them one way,
then do a sudden turn.

Take some fingers, open them wide
Take some toes, make them slip and slide
Take a belly, let it jiggle
Take some hips, let them wiggle
Take a bottom and stick it out
Take some shoulders, shake them all about.

Get your body to a roiling, boiling heat.
Whip things up
with fast, whirring feet.

Hum
and sing
do a loud, low whoop!

Flip,
flap,
swing,
sway
in a great big dancing
soup.
