Dance Floor Wonder, Wow!
Canaveral in the 1920s stood
For ultra boondocks-ness. A band made up
Of ukulele and a shiny wood
Guitar and small accordion played up
For tiny audiences in the hall.
Still, people simply have to make do with
The stuff to hand. But then a very tall
And muscled man did better than Greek myth.
He hauled a short and very, very fat
Dance partner all around the floor in waltz.
She waddled. Somehow they didn’t go splat.
He twirled her around sans any faults.
A place of miracles the Cape turned out
To be because of swirling, ultra stout.
