The Dancer’s Tongue

What happened to the dancer's tongue?

 The usual swift and rebellious dance ceased to exist,

 now replaced by a placid tongue thought only to wreak havoc.

 Truly, the times have changed.

    Only for it to be revealed that the teacher of the dancer's tongue is the maestro. 

Oh, how it cracks me up and turns me into butter. 

But how dreadful it was when the dancer's tongue yet again changed. 

The only difference is her inability to speak. 

But as we well know, the tongue of the soothsayer doesn't last long in his mouth.                                 

Oh, how it cracks me up and turns me into butter.
