Crown of Roses

Where every dancer is puffing & huffing Gasping & blowing & wheezing Fleet-footed flying & galloping Hot nippy swift ultra-speed quick . Spirit of the dance . No Caledonian set dance here With its treble clicking of heels Known to Clare locals & Banned rightly by the Gaelic Athletic Association . Spirit of the dance . No time for dilly-dallying crawling or dilly-dallying dawdling Dragging lingering sluggish tardy Ultra-slow or leisurely-slow . Spirit of the dance .
