Dancing

November 3dancing,tailgating,lsu vs alabama,ymca

I am thankful for dancing. Although I am not a great dancer myself, I know that dancers run in my family. My Dad was jokingly called "Twinkletoes Tulley" because of his dancing prowess. Dad took the Queen Mary home from a business trip to Europe in 1960 and won the dance contest on the liner. He so loved to dance. And Mom was a great dance partner for him. My daughter Beth has been dancing since she was four years old and must have inherited his gene for dance. I also enjoy dancing to have a good time. To keep time with the rhythm of the song is a joyful experience.

This photo was taken during tailgating for last year's LSU versus Alabama football game. These revelers were enjoying a line dance in the street to the song YMCA. They were really enjoying themselves.

my dad was a dancing tool

he could dance like nobody’s fool

rumba, cha cha, the waltz

were the dances he did with schmaltz

but when it comes to me

there’s no dancing talent i see

generations were skipped and moved on

to my daughter and latest spawn

she will so dance

at ev’ry chance

carrying on the tradition

without any inhibition.
