October Line Dance
by Kristina Woodhill
Let's scrunch-toe through the piles of leaves
We'll wander under naked trees
Let's wave at Tiny Tim as we pass by
He's out there in his field of dreams
His dizzy tulip wanderings
Falsettoing his heartfelt lullabye.
He keeps on looking high and low
His uke twangs out its song of woe -
Where did my friends, the tulips, go and hide?
We tag him on the arm and prance
In tonga line we do our dance
The southward geese look down and honk in time.
With Tim in tow, we gather steam
Rakes thrown aside, kids faces gleam
The old kids leave their canes by rocking chairs.
Theres Seeger searching for his flowers
A young girl grabs his hand and showers
Confettied leaves upon his graying hair.
Our line swings round and hands unite
Unbroken circle holding tight
Shrieking laughter fills the air with sound
With single voice, hearts filled with fun
We all count down from three to one
And
All
Fall
Down
