Ballet Dancing Photography

A bit low on Funny Stories
But needless to say

If ever one is taking photography
Of ballet dancers
Be they female or even male

And Ballet Dancer would be flying
Through the air
Ever so gracefully

Make sure, and check again
That there is no audience beneath the scene

Because it is REALLY Funny
To see a photograph
Of a Ballet Dancer
Flying over an unsuspecting
Someone’s head

Recorded for prosperity

And what it resembles!
Is Elegant Dancer
Leaping, flying through the air

Appearing as if he would be
Balancing on top of
Another man’s head

OH MY HAT!
STOP IT, THAT IS SO FUNNY!!!

Oh, dear readers, I don’t have
The photo to prove it
But it happened
Not to me
But to a close relative of mine!

Ballet Lesson

Sister and I—
She older than me
Mom is away
At shops for the day
Babysitter at home
But she’s occupied

Shall we jump,
The bed is free?
Mom won’t hear
Because she’s not here
Arrived from ballet
And we have so much energy

Jump, jump and jump some more
Until finally I jump to the floor
Freshly polished to make it gleam
Shoulder connects, collarbone does too
Snap!
Six year old frame breaks in two

Pain surges raw!
I’ve never felt agony before
And mom’s not here
Only babysitter, sister and me
I can’t move, I can’t walk
And I know what it feels to

Want to die
