Stomping at the Savoy

The
“home of happy feet”
delays leaving
its nook
in my ripened mind
even
now it clambers
to
the second floor
a
carpeted lounge
with
its mirrored walls
knocking back
johnnie walker red

eyeballing
the most exquisitely
beautiful women
on
the ballroom floor
with
pageboy hair-do’s
frosted lipstick
curvaceous figures
poured
into taut clothing

two bandstands
continuous
live music all night
unchecked
undulating hips holding
back nothing
moving to the music
in
the space allotted
them

“Savoy
the home of sweet romance
Savoy
it wins you with a glance
Savoy
gives happy feet a chance
to dance”
