Mississippi
Queen For A Day
by William
'Doc' Haggerty
She tickled my fancy
In a storybook way.
As we traveled the dance floor
Me and my Mississippi Queen for a day.
I felt I could help her
To stay out of the middle.
As discussing the two-step
She said she knew little.
It was fun when we screwed up
And tripped on our feet.
We just kept on moving
Right to rhythm and beat.
I coached her and taught her
The different movements I knew.
She caught on quite quickly
'Cross the dance floor we flew.
Before long cameras found us.
Two new dancers of note.
She - a little camera shy.
Me - a lesson well wrote.
