"Shimmy shake" Try it go on!
turn it into a dance or song
From age 1- 100
Glowing pop socks T shirts Rock n'Roll
dress up just for fun
put your "shimmy shake" clothes on

A dob of stars on the face
stockings all colours made of lace
painted nails and whirly skirts

A shiny clasp or flower in your hair
and rouge make us look like a lady aint

Tuxedo trousers for the men
shake each hip to the side twice
have a quiff curled high

I remember too like
the twins "John and Edward"
In the X Factor I watch
Song and dance are good for you
What entertainment! they give to all
"Simon Cowell" will have a go to!.

Bright shirts all wear
Cummerbands around your waist
get your bling from the cheap shops
now your ready to bop! "Shimmy Shake"

Put your music on for an hour
indoors or if out low
now your ready to go

Stand with hands in the air
clap clap! to get warm
act as if you haven't got a care

Push Push ! your arms to the left
Push Push !to the right
"Shimmy shake" bend to the knees
twirl around with
your glitter flatties on

Hands on each others waists
one in the air
go under each others arms
Smile and laugh as you do

Two jumps to the left
and two to the right
Stamp your feet
listen to the beat!

Shake your Tambourine
"Shake-Shake Shimmy shake"
head slightly move both sides
you will feel alive.

Stop at the office
or what ever you do
move the body is good for all
at the park just for a lark
meet your friend's young and old

Then turn around in circle
face the other way
take the person in front
of you or beside
off you start again!

You will feel aglow
get of your backsides
say "Shimmy Shake"
wherever you go!

Now there are sequin berets
leggings belts and shoes

When the 'Red Arrows'
come zooming over
and parachute down!

Covered in golden star dust
and touch the ground
join in the 'Shimmy Shimmy
Shake' dance and song

Even music and your alone
try at home
work at this gradually,
eat and drink after
if at home in a chair
move only your wrists and feet.

Hi there, Julie. What a lovely dance rhythm you have managed to create with your words. I was even tapping my foot to it as I read it. "Two jumps to the left and two to the right Stamp your feet listen to the beat" You have obviously worked hard with this one, and it shows. Well done, Julie;-) Tina x

Hi again, Julie. Just to say, if you're daft for having and playing a tambourine, I must be even dafter. I've got two!!! Have always loved tambourines since a kid and tap-shoes too. Never had any though and I was dead jealous of my cousin who had some bright red ones. Once again, lovely poem and keep writing. You are really improving you know. Tina x
