Some are good.
Some are bad.
Some are really rad.
Some could not even fox trot, even if they had a
red furry coat, and a bushy tail.
You know the ones who are going to miserably fail.
But along came Ann Widdecombe to the scene,
that controversial, outrageous, Strictly Come Dancing Queen.
We watched each performance with laughter and tears,
and not even the critics could stop our spontaneous cheers,
as Anton Du Beke threw her around the room,
which made Craig Revel Horwood internally fume!
She took a lot of criticism, and Anton would just grin.
Is it possible; really possible that they might win?
As painful as haemorrhiods one said, and like a lame canary,
but she was determined to get the prize, and try everything that was necessary:
From flying in the air, or buffing the floor,
the general public definitely wanted more.
Just thinking about her made people smile.
Pick up the phone, vote, go on dial!
Should she stay in the competition the critics cried? Is it fair?
You try telling her that. In fact you dare!
"You bet it is", said Ann, as she prepared for the next dance.
"It's up to the voters, and not to chance!"
But we did fear for Anton that he might break a wrist,
as he hurled Ann around the dance floor,
or slip a precious spinal disc.
But alas the competition is over for her, and now she is a lady of leisure.
Who would have thought this Tory MP would become a national treasure!
