I would
dance for you
but my feet are damned
and you know it.
Contrary
to what you may think,
I am far from graceful.

I think it's all about who you are dancing for and how they define grace..

I personally (not that you asked) think you are one of the most graceful souls I know.

Kaoru,
Great piece of writing
Who you are dancing for
or who you are dancing with
can make all the differance

I am frequently asked to dance
even though she knows
That I can't dance
worth a damn!

but I do it anyway

Personally. I prefer to think of myself as "maladroit"...much nicer than "klutz"
But, this is grace, Megs

Extremely graceful,
pleasantly discerning...
and I agree
with all above.

Well, you sure had ME fooled.
But your pen sure dances nicely.
