Miss Astaire’s blues

the tap dancing blues of miss astaire

[quote] the one thing that hurts
much more than a summer blister:
is the desire to dance like a pro
whilst being fred astaire’s sister.
that one thing above all else
the courage with which we lack:
to stand bare, declare undying love
for a dance that doesn’t love you back.
never mind, let’s face the music and dance,
‘cos no doctor can cure such tortured romance. [/quote]
