A chaperone's lament
I used to dance the jitterbug,
I could really cut a rug,
At every party in town,
Until osteoarthritis took me down.

Now I sit out every dance,
Watch the young folks shimmy and prance,
I play the perfect chaperone,
Wishing I had stayed at home.

At home I could watch stars dancing,
See my favorite couple romancing,
Famous judges to win their votes,
And a place in entertainment's footnotes.
