A young couple staying in safe
from harsh winter snow
dances together and time seems to slow
They enjoy the warmth of firelight as it glows
& they hold each other close

Nickel In A Jukebox
Judy put a nickel in a jukebox
Grabbed Buddy by the hand
Said:
“What are you waiting for,
get your dance on, man”
Buddy wasn’t the best dancer,
that’s something everybody knew
but Judy’s energy was infectious,
her smile lit up the room,
Buddy didn’t want to hurt her feelings,
He said, “I’d do anything for you”
so they danced til the night was through

Dance
Juanita said she wanted Gabriel to take her to a picture show
Gabriel said he had another idea, he put music on the stereo
then waltzed her around their parlor nice & slow,
& before long she’d forgotten all about the picture show
The smile on her face was so bright it nearly glowed
Gabriel wasn’t always great w/romance,
but he knew Juanita could never turn down a dance
She’d do it every day if she got the chance

Gypsy Queen
He was the son of carnival folk,
all who knew him said he hardly spoke
but all that changed when she came along,
A true gypsy queen playing her charming song
They were both wild, loved to move their feet
They talked & danced together to their own drum beat
He told her, “girl, I’ve never felt more free”
She said, “You always will be, if you stick with me”

New Poem
Each Friday evening, he puts on his silver cowboy tie
with a button down dress shirt & his jet black Levi’s
Then he puts on his Stetson hat & polishes his boots until they shine
His wife is known for saying that he cleans up real fine
There is a reason why he dresses to the nines
He takes his wife out dancing, they stay there til closing time
It’s their weekly tradition, to reconnect & unwind
