Trying to Dance, Almost Falling

by Michelle Uyeda

(Kailua-Kona, HI)

The music starts off slow,

He grabs onto the chair.

His fists are turning white,

wobbling and wiggling.

You can tell he’s been drinking

‘cause he can’t walk straight.

The music speeds up,

so does the dance.

Trying to dance,

almost falling to the ground.

The music slows down

and comes to an end.

Out of breath he huffs and puffs.

I’m out of breath too,

but from laughing too hard!
