dance floor


It was that plump rump
that turned my eye.
It would not be seen on another guy,
and it really made me jump.

That boy could dance
putting emotion in the motion
in spiriting rotation
in a Lady Gaga trance.

    Yeah! Plump people can also dance. It's unfortunate that society has made stereotypes about them.
    I like the rhyme scheme too- perfect.

    Very entertaining piece, I'm a sucker for quatrains and Lady Gaga references.

    Laughing...sorry, but you had me at the first 2 lines!

    Plump, round, thin, whatever, I say if you've got rhythm, flaunt it!
