I sincerely hope this poem doesn't offend anyone,
It was not written in that manner

Saturday Night Dance Party
By Paul Wilson

The invitation said come as you are
food for all…with an open bar
Come dance to your favorite song
with an offer like that, how could we go wrong

The band played all those songs from the past
just like before, one slow one fast
The party was going great
even though some of the guest arrived late

Out on the dance floor with lights turned down low
was Magnus and Enchantress, they were giving it a go
There was Ron and Nan singing along with the band
just like Sonny and Cher hand in hand

Standing by the bar was Marge drinking a cherry coke
next to her was Bill Charles…having a smoke
The next song was a ladies choice
as she asked Bill with a shy voice

The dance floor was crowded and the music was slow
Couples wrapped in each others arms yanno
Serenity had her eye on that guy called Squirrel
so he took her by the hand and gave her a twirl

Cpat Ron and Mysteria were dancing in the dark
He was asking here if she wanted to go park
He said he would drive her home tonight
together they could dance under the moon light

The band was playing a fast one now
as Seymour told Kit he would show her how
Out on the floor they were doing the twist
he told her… just shake your hips like this

Balladeer had his eye on that cutie called Sunshine
he told Toerag she sure can dance fine
They danced till their feet were sore
then they danced some more

The band took a break, but not for long
cause everybody wanted to hear their favorite song
The mood was just right for a party tonight
until Toerag and Balladeer got in a fight

The nurse came in, turned on the light and broke up the fight
sorry folks she announced no more dancing tonight
Everyone says this retirement home is the best
cause on Saturday night nobody gets any rest

Nancy~~~Thank you. I've written more poems this past week than I have in the last 3-4 months, so I guess I'm getting back in the groove. I may have to write a part 2 to this one maybe a day trip for the crew or something.Glad you enjoyed...Paul

ROFL ... Paul, this was delightful!

What a great flow, and the visuals had me grinning.  LOL ... I'd love to twist the night away!

Well done, really enjoyed this, and a great "twist" at the end!

Best wishes,

Kit & Sunshine... Glad you both enjoyed. I tried to revise it a little, but it was past the 24 hours, so this is a little different than the finished product.
Thanks for reading...Paul

That Toerag's just a troublemaker
Every body knows!
He told my Sunshine she had wrinkles
In her pantyhose!!

I had to rise to her defense -
I don't do that for many
Especially when she blurted out
She wasn't wearing any!!!

But that's ok. Some pepper in
His Preparation H will work.
It couldn't happen to a nicer guy
Or bigger JERK!!!

Ya done good, Paul. This was well-written and a lot of fun!
