(for Jan)
The hip op was tip-top.
Soon you will hip-hop
and high kick and flip flop,
not just in your brain.
Last week you sat
like a marionette.
Now you are back,
a person again.
Gone is the duck walk,
the bald, worn out bone.
Posies and pirouettes!
Gone is the pain.
Hip hip hooray
for the hip of the day!
