DANCING
 |
| Charleston Dance Diagram by Andy Warhol |
DON'T take your partner by the hand
Keep your distance, touching's banned!
Two colleagues in the corridor!
There's not enough room on this tiny floor
First, step to the left
Then step to the right...
Then step to the left...
Then step to the right...
Then step to the left...
Then step to the right...
Laugh at the silliness of it all
Then flatten yourself against the wall
Breath a sigh that all's gone well
But wait! What's that unearthly smell?
A third colleague comes round the corner
She's far too close, quick, someone warn her!
All three dance about like fools
It's the work-place dance, these are the rules.
Oh readers, we are exhausted by all the dancing about each other in the halls! Is this happening in every workplace across the land? We were all subjected to Scottish Country Dancing as children and so sometimes get carried away and end up doing an entire (socially distant) Virginia Reel up and down the corridor. Most tiring.
Library staff downstairs have been complaining about our ceiling-quaking gallops and raucous whoops, but I've seen them doing the (socially distant) charleston when they change over at the desk so they have no power over me at all.
