Let’s warm up slowly                         Swing your arms high then lowly. Lean your head from side to side Raise up your arms high and wide. Move your body to the beat Start to feel the heat. Let’s speed up the tempo We know the way we go. Grapevine to the right Keep your tummy tight. Grapevine to the left Footwork clearly deft.

Shoulders up back and down Someone deserves a crown. Ballerinas tall and straight Yes, we can control our weight. Ready pick up your hoop Hold it straight don’t stoop. Twirl it round and round Place it on the ground.

Slowly, slowly bring it down Breath in deep and touch the ground. Tap your shoulders, wave and say Well done everyone. Enjoy your day!

bamboo

Bamboo leaves shiver A flute picks up the tune sighs. Green leaves quiver Dancers look up Azure skies. Silence stops thought Listen you hear The bamboo. Just let go. Become A leaf, A branch, A tree, Become the tune Play the flute.

ramona

Raven haired, sculptured face, Uniquely glamorous, A walk that perfected the sway, Nothing out of place. Perfect combinations, At the end of the day Getting her way.

A bare-footed, bright yellow vision In a trendy trouser suit, Swept across the lawn Turning heads, on a mission. Individual without dispute.

Always bringing presents, My adorable beauty. Too soon your loving, bouncy ways, Your smile taken from me Leaving memories of your scents.

Leather dressed biker arriving with haste. The archers arrow is strong and true With speed it flies, no time to waste. Reliable strength all for the best, In Peacehaven she came to rest.
