What could you try for the first time?
Maybe learn the tango
like an Argentine
We‘re off to Argentina
and I know my wife is keen.
I’ve tried most stuff I wanted to
And often on my own
But dancing as a couple
Is not my kind of thing.
I like to dance, I’ll jump about
Dad dance to extreme
But tell me where to put my feet
And I am all at sea.
It’s not a dance I’m keen to try
It wouldn’t be for me
But I should try to please my wife
And not act selfishly.
My hobbies are quite solitary
To run or else to write
We do stuff in the garden
But I’m mostly labour there.
So learn to dance together
Proper ballroom stuff
Not what appeals to me
But I should try for her.
It is a little scarey
Poor memory, two left feet
But you can’t learn unless you try
Perhaps it’s time I did.
