Have you Seen Oliver TwistA Poem by Gomer LePoetanother play on words on the old dickens novelHave you seen Oliver Twist?
Some called him Ollie but he preferred Oliver played some football with Billy Joe Toliver when he scored a touchdown he would raise his fist but it was nothing at all until you saw him twist
he was stuck in the 60's that's what some would say even though his hair was showing a touch of grey getting kind of chubby now just like the Checker he can shake his hips and swallow a double-decker
you could find him nightly at the Peppermint Lounge if he was short on money then he would scrounge to enter the contest it would cost him 20 bucks he knew he could win saying his competition sucks
the grand prize would net him a 500 dollar bill he practiced every day at the studio on Blueberry Hill he could still do the splits without pulling a muscle warming up back stage doing the Charleston Hustle
one by one his younger charges fell to the side they were dancin their legs off until they cried when all was said and done from out of the mist the spotlight shone the winner it was Oliver Twist
