Triumphs, Moonwalks and Tumbles

A celebration of life’s little stumbles

Because even the stumbles have rhythm.

🌟✨💃🎶🌈🌟✨💃🎶🌈

The fedora is a tad too great

The Moonwalk tried, but failed-

But new pavements when my laces break

And I dance to a Jackson thrill.

🌟✨💃🎶🌈🌟✨💃🎶🌈

My umbrella turns inside out

Prance, but to a bus I miss -

I see a park I never saw

And a dog that serves to please.

🌟✨💃🎶🌈🌟✨💃🎶🌈

My two left feet trip over a curb,

But I bump into a hapless friend-

She picks my mobile and keys a blurb,

On Facebook in the end.

🌟✨💃🎶🌈🌟✨💃🎶🌈

Each Moonwalk tried, each stumble stalled-

A little dancing spark -

Life's full of failures, stops and spoils,

But still a work of art.

🌟✨💃🎶🌈🌟✨💃🎶🌈
