Strictly

by Diane Langford

Oh sea, last week you moved so beautifully

Your kicks and flicks impressed at first

But in reality it was your partner, Wind,

Who was doing all the work

I see that now

You need to lift up more

And show us your wild side

Especially in the jive

From me you get a five

Sky, I notice you are overdressed again

The lightness you exhibited last time has gone

You really must stay clear to look your best

Focus, dear, for heaven’s sake

Your Latin was appalling

All over the place

You were close to falling down

A four is all I can award

Moon, what an improvement you have made

I loved your beaming smile

You were exhuberant, You radiate

You went the extra mile

Produced a stunning foxtrot

For which I give you eight

Stars, you disappoint

Where was your twinkle?

We thought we could rely on you

To bring a bit of glamour to the show

Buck up, don’t hide your glow

Come out and show the others how

I’ll give you four for now

Trees, your new outfit is nice

But I’m not sure that orange is your colour

The green was more becoming in my view

The same old problem, trees, still needs more work

You are too wooden

Is that a bird’s nest in your hair?

You just stand there

while Breeze dances all round you

Trying to please

You cannot fool the judges, trees,

A two

Sun, Moon totally eclipsed you on the night

You’ll have to brighten up your act

To get another nine

You’ve got to rise and shine, Sun

Last week your Tango was divine

What happened to your warmth and passion?

After such a weak rendition you get five

And now it’s down to folks at home

Will it be Sea, or Sky, or Moon, or Stars?

Will Trees rise up the leader board?

Will Sun be in or out?

It’s up to you

We hope you liked our little show
