Leaper

They called him Jumper He preferred Prancer When he was happy he would prance Giant circles of joy And the dizziness Too many beers and staggers For 365 days waiting times 4 He would dress himself outlandishly Feathers and painting his face He loved the Mamba and espresso Dancing to the beat and the heat But February 29th he could leap and pride Gyrating crazily leaping from space to space Time warp again Disco fever Never tiring It only happens once every 4 years Leap frog when he was a child Monty Python taught him how to leap from tree to tree He did the Lumberjack His jeans had done the Hop on Bandstand He had bell bottom genes While in South America he did the Anaconda Bunny Hop with children as he walked Loved the song Fandango While hunting his horse taught him the Foxtrot Auntie Mame be proud His favorite was Leaping Once every 4 years Just bored so I typed nonsense
