The Ceroc Years - Number One


from the ABC set The Ceroc Years

PLEASURE

What is this life if, taking stock,
You have no chance to dance Ceroc.

No chance to chase away the blues,
And show off your new two-tone shoes.

No chance to pose or skip and prance,
And kid yourself that you can dance.

No chance to flirt with that nice girl,
Whose perfume makes your nose-hair curl.

No chance to stagger ’cross the hall,
With partner poised to break your fall.

No chance to laugh and have some fun,
Until you find your fly’s undone.

A poor life this, and quite a shock,
When you get banned from Club Ceroc!

Wonderful - good rhyme, good rhythmn. No easy feat to the beat of Ceroc.

Well, I be ...

Thanks very much for choosing this. I'm very flattered.

I wrote these ceroc poems a few years ago and only recently re-discovered them so thought I'd post them on here.

I'll try to find the others - there were about 20 in all if I recall.

Thanks again.
