Clumsy Ballerina

My arabesque is wobbly

My attitude is wanting

I beat behind the batterie

At 'two' I stop my counting



My tutu's always crooked

My coupé is too dull

My demi's gone too far

And the hairpins stab my skull



I messed up the emboîté

My clumsy legs have failed me

But I guess I'll keep on trying

After all, I'm only three.
