I think I would have renamed this poem. Something like "When Mama would not dance", or " My first dance lessons with papa". I could only imagine this young boy having to endure the drunken stupor of his dad. It must have been fun at first but the impression I get reading this poem is the fun long ran out when the alcohol still made its presence known. Interesting poem.
