The " Harlem Shake"


He jumped up from his sleep at 7 Am to harsh, grating sounds
No pleasure to his senile ears, they made his heart pound.
He got up from his bed and put on his night robe,
but as he got closer to the music, it  hurt his ear lobes.

He peeked into the drawing room and was astounded to see
his rotund wife and her rotund friends gyrating vigorously.
They were dancing to the  famous " Harlem Shake"
causing in the neighborhood, a mild earthquake.

The wife suddenly turned and caught her husband's stares
She blushed in embarrassment to be caught unaware.
He smiled, it was indeed an amusing sight
to see three scores and ten (70 years) ladies shaking their "booty" left and right.

She said " We've got to record this for our Facebook friends to see
the " Harlem shake" done by ladies in their early seventies.
Darling, get the camcorder and record it soon
It needs to be uploaded on YouTube way before noon."

The poor old man tottered away with nothing more to say,
he thought to himself " Her orders, I better hurriedly obey,
Lest she'll make me dance to the " Harlem Shake"
for five decades to her tunes I did obediently gyrate.
But this old doddering body can take no more!
If I've to do the " Harlem Shake", 
I'll soon be "knock knock knocking on heaven's door!"
