Rock ‘n Roll or Twist away
Trot like the fox, to the “Danube” sway
The lilt of Music , it bares  the soul
Your love for it gives you away

Tap your feet or just dance to beat
Music’s the thrill, the absolute treat,
That lifts the mood,  mysteriously
Till you’re dancing down the great main street.
 
It’s the only true way to go
Rumba, Samba or the Tango,
Jive or as the Dervish, circulate
In frenzy, or do it real nice and slow.

A song in the heart needs no voice
Whistle or hum, it’s all your choice,
Let yourself go, dreamily, wildly
Life’s about living, not just poise.
 

The Power of Music, the lilt of it
The heart and mind both, beautifully, lit,
Fingers on the keys or a  trumpet to the lips
It’s Magic, the access to Heaven, bit by bit.
