Linda’s Elbow Grease

There is an area on a dance floor, that you never want to be;
One that comes too near to Linda, when she’s on a Boogie spree!
For she possesses no peripheral, and if you get too dangerously close;
You might end up with a clobbered jaw, or maybe a bloody nose!
.
For she swings her elbows freely, as they hone in on their prey;
I tell her, “watch your arms babe”, “I will”, she then will say!
But just a little while later, she is back to her old tricks;
They are menacing other dancers, destined to take their hurtful licks!
.
One night, we went out dancing, with her Father and Step-Mom;
We went to a senior venue, where every night is like a prom!
We were doing a hot merengue, I was spinning Linda wide;
When a lady got too close to her, and these words she loudly cried!
.
“Oh dear, I need to sit down, I am seeing many stars”;
“I should have avoided that young lady, whose arms stick out so far”!
Poor Linda felt so guilty, that we sat down for a little while;
But soon, her elbows flew again, I guess that’s just her style!

                           Beware of Linda
               Please give to her lots of space
                         Never rub elbows
