Cha-Cha Charlie (for Charlie Kuchinsky)
A Rumba in Rhyme for a Scriber Sublime
There once was a writer named Charlie,
Who'd mastered the art of the parley.
Then somehow by chance,
She started to dance
And turned all the beer back to barley.
.
Excitement had filled her with glee,
And readership soared by degree.
So Charlie, she rose
On tips of her toes
And jigged for the rainclouds to flee.
.
This happy dance caught on like flame,
And Charlie acquired a name.
With shamrocks and plume,
She slid 'cross the room,
So gleefully prancing to fame.
.
Want to uncover the dancing background behind this poetic romp? It's in the comments on this AC article . . . and then this one.

I came back to read the poem to my grandchildren. Josh proclaims it "awesome!" Katelyn literally did fall on the floor laughing. But then she got up and proceeded to do my happy dance. I think you have helped launch a tradition in our family, well at least until they grow up and no longer deem it "cool."
Very cute!
Well written poetry.
ROTFL. I can't stop! This is just too precious for words. My grandson always wants me to do my happy dance for him and now my grand daughter is getting into as well. However, with my knee it isn't as much fun as before. It's like la la la OW la la la OWWW la la la OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. But I won't give it up until I can no longer do it. Thanks for this wonderful poem Linda. I'll cheristh it forever.
Very cool!
How cute and clever! And a good way to get the word out about some of your other recent articles - I'm not getting all notifications and AC isn't sending all of mine, either!
LOL, that was cool
I agree! She is deserving of prose indeed! :) but your quick the poet yourself!
I absolutely love this... :-)
