Billie Jo the Ballerina

A Poem

By Mother CombsPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

Ballet’s not for you

Everyone says you’re too big

That you’re too clumsy

**

Dancing isn’t for you.

Who has seen a dinosaur

Wearing a tutu?

**

But she didn’t care

Brontosaurus have four legs

They are meant to dance

**

She followed her dreams.

So, wearing her pink tutu.

Twirling and leaping

**

Billie Jo fulfilled

her fantasy of being

A ballerina

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.
