Like a Duck to Ballet - Not a poem

Like a Duck to Ballet

 

For years I studied ballet

And now with some luck

I walk like a swan

And dance like a duck

 

 

My teacher said

This is fifth position

Heel to toe

Held in opposition

 

 

But when I try

I can’t seem to win

My heels turn out

My toes turn in

 

 

The teacher frowns

I should’ve stayed in bed

Spotted my feet

And pointed my head

 

 

But I am not sad

'Cause whatever I lack

I make up in

The way I quack.

 

 

Told you it wasn't a poem.

Needless to say - it was written on a day after a frustrating ballet class.
