mollusque Here's a difference between dancing and writing: in writing it's okay to look at your feet.
--Roy Blount Jr., 2008, Alphabet Juice, p. 191 Jan 3, 2009
oroboros I like to dance and tap my feet
But they won't keep in rhythm--
You see I washed them both today
And I can't do nothin' with 'em.
Ho hum, the tune is dumb
The words don't mean a thing--
Isn't this a silly song
For any one to sing?
--A "song"(?) quoted on p.27 in Nevil Shute's Landfall with no credits offered. (Ballentine Books 1972)
