Revel-ations (or, Through the Drinking Glass)
by Anabel Ravaya de Guzman
(mka Ana Areces)
ill you dance a little faster, said a lady to her beau, 
Squire What's-His-Name's behind us, and he's treading on my toe. 
He has a way with women, and he's really rather sweet.
He has made a great impression, but alas, it's on my feet.”

It is something of a bother when a dance-master's your beau. 
All revel long you wonder if you're treading on his toe.
Though your garb may be quite fetching, and your words considered sweet, 
You're afraid that the impression you have made is on his feet!
