Do Mooses Dance?

"Do mooses dance?"
The young boy cried,
not believing what
his eyes'd just spied

"What's that you say?"
His parents said
Both very worried
about their little Fred

"Mooses! Do They Dance?"
asked the boy once again
Now Fred was worried
Was he going insane

"Look out the window!"
The young man cried
And so they did
then stared at each other, mouths open wide

It had to be true
Although unheard of before
but they could see a moose
in the next field take to the floor.

Standing proud on two legs
It tottered around
It was a miracle that it didn't
Land splat on the ground.

With a flare that alluded
Astaire and Kelly
It looked like the creature
Was tapping in wellies!

With a final pirouette
came the end of the waltz
Then Fred and Parents
Saw they were at fault

It wasn't a moose
doing a bit of soft shoe
but an 'ordinary' man
well, a clumsy old fool

Who somehow managed
(with great skill and grace)
to get tangled up
in a simple bootlace

The loop of lace
of the boot on the right
hooked around the left boot
and thus started the plight

Simply moving his feet
Put things in motion.
22 stone on the move is a
frightening notion

In an attempt to avoid
Landing flat on his face
The poor chap had to try to
dislodge that rogue lace

And this he managed.
Though no ones sure how.
One minute he was tripping
The next taking a bow.

Do mooses dance?
Not bloody likely
It's just fat clumsy men
Who cant tie their boots tightly!
