Jitterbug

The weather turned out real good for the wedding on the beach. It were a beautiful ceremony and afterward we all went back to a area what had a tent set up. They served crab cakes, conch fritters, and boiled shrimps. And that were just to warm us up. We had a real good supper, the kind what you walk through a line and pick out what you want. They offered salad, roasted vegetables, roast beef, chicken, and grouper. I had some of each. Then after the bride and groom danced they let ever body get on the dance floor. They wanted me to dance and I told them I couldn't do nothing but jitterbug. And you know what they knowed some old songs and I reckon there warn't no way out for me. So I danced. With several womens (not at the same time.) Ever body what warn't dancing crowded around and clapped and yelled out, "Go, Harvey Lee, go." It were something else.
