DANCING

There was a young man in Penzance

whose mother taught him to dance.

He danced before dinner and after his tea

and quickstepped merrily into the sea.

He was found still dancing in New York State

where a crowd had gathered saying

'Hey man, that's great!

Is it true that you've danced clear over the ocean?'

'Yes,' he replied, still in motion.
