the peppermint twist

i like to dance,
she tells me. it's my creative
outlet.
it gets my juices going.
i just love to dance.
i can do all the dances.
name a dance
and i'll tell you if i know
it or not.
the limbo,
i tell her.
that's not a dance.
yes it is, i tell her.
they even made a song about
it.
no, she says a real
dance.
okay, what about the twist.
can you do the twist.
the peppermint twist?
it goes like this, i stand
up and demonstrate 
knocking over a lamp
and a potted plant.
