Belly Dance Artistry
Belly Laughs: Belly Dance Limericks

A Chicago dancer, Shahina
Of belly dance she is the queen of.
Her exotic moves
Set to Egyptian grooves
Have enchanted all that have seen her.


Belly dancers have abdomens keen
That are key to their rhythmic routine.
Sure, it's very exotic
And somewhat erotic,
But, people, it's hardly obscene.


Belly dance in some places is seen
As risque and rather unclean
By some puritan minds,
So one frequently finds
Foreign dancing belles now on the scene.


An exotic-type dancer named Nelly
Could shake like a bowl filled with jelly.
She would gyrate her hips
With her customers' tips
Tucked suggestively close to her belly.


Belly dancing is misunderstood.
It's a hide-and-seek tease, yet it's good.
Professional movers
In navel maneuvers
Can turn kings to clay- and they should!


My dad wants to learn belly dance
'Cause his gut bulges over his pants.
He could then join a harem
With gyrations to scare 'em
From Turkey to Toulon in France.
