It's going to be a bash at the Gardens tonight!
The sunken ballroom will be filled with delight!
There'll be the hoity-toity and the society high-rollers,
With the funky peons and hoi-polloi rubbing shoulders.
Oh, we'll do the mambo and the tango, and in between-a
Even throw in the monkey dance and the macarena!
As we circle around the floor, just getting our groove on,
If we bang into others, we'll ask, "I beg your pardon!"
This is the ball where every gal's a Cinderella,
And every Prince Charming is just another fella!
The dance of the season, of the decade or century!
It will be fun, it will be fine, it will be The Place To Be!
Another fine poem, Owen, with a sweet swing as you call out the dances in verse 2.
Plenty o' monkey shines around the Gardens bash tonight! Wahoo, wahoo!

I decided to solve this on my phone. #2 baffled me even when I filled it right off .
Guessing the second word quickly left the first. Now to read it again.

Well, this Jumble was a bit of a toughie for me this morning. I had trouble with the first and fourth word, but got them after a bit of playing around with the letters. But just couldn't get the theme, and needed Owen's poem for help. It worked! Helped me get another word for the baboons, and then the whole answer felled in. Fun poem, Owen, and many thanks. I loved the first picture on top--what was the name of that band? And the cartoon with those happy baboons was cute too.
Misty, I'm so happy that your tooth replacement is going well .
Oweb, prescience is deja vu all over again. I've got to reread both days.

No problems with the jumble. Liked your cartoon, Owen; I'm old enough to remember them well.
Entertaining poem. I always think of Al Gore when the Macarena is mentioned.
Thank you for the kind words--Wilbur--I very much appreciate your kindness, always.
