The Travelling Dancer And His Cat
Introduction
This is a poem I wrote awhile ago, and my hope is to one day publish it as an illustrated children's book.
Enjoy.
He was always asked
From Whence he came
Yet the answer
Was forever the same
He came from London
He came from France
He came from places
Where they liked to dance
Where they danced high
Where they danced low
Dances that were fast
Dances that were slow
Dances with bells
Jingling here and there
Many towns there are
Where they dance without a care
He danced as he walked
From each quirky town
He danced right-way-up
He danced upside-down
He danced for queens
He danced for kings
He danced side-to-side
He danced so many things
A travelling dancer was he
Who danced as he went
He carried no belongings
Not even a simple tent
Just his clothes and his shoes
And the bells on his hat
Nothing else he needed
Except his dancing cat
So, whenever asked
The answer remained the same
He was a travelling dancer
From many places, he came
