Did I win the race?

Question:*****

Some feet are made of ider down
They float just like a cloud
Mine are more concrete you see
These days, I’m Earth-bound

When I was young I surely could
Dance form dusk till dawn
But now if I try spins and dips
I fall down on the lawn

I like to watch the TV show
Where old guys dance again
But the ones who glide on gossamer
With Cheryl and Jullianne win

Two feet
set in concrete
can't compete.
Dredging the dirge
of these pretty word swirls
but does not turn

Of course you did.

When I was young, I still had two left feet.

Last out the starting gate, won by an eyelash on a muddy track, went off 80-1.....bet straight across the board on you....I can buy my Viper now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Convertible, of COURSE!!!!

Thanks, T D!!!!!!

Ah....the good old days!
I really do go to bed at 9!

The poem is nice and beautiful TD......in youth and boyhood, we could spin and leap and bound a round, but when aged, yes, we get rooted more to earth, "cribbed, cabined and confined" as Shakespeare says in Hamlet.

Of course you did! (Appears a few of us are lagging behind...but not by much, I'll warrant.)

Thanks TD...Very good...Love, honey

Two left feet .......The dance floor tries to hide ..........When I try

The only way I could dance ..............is to watch FRED & GINGER

I will grant you that eider down is gossamer, but it certainly isn't spelled "ider". Sheesh, and right in the first line too. To your credit, though, you were right about "Ockham's Razor." I thought you didn't know your Occams from your okrahs.
