Tap-Dancing Out of Here

I want to learn to tap-dance properly,
but I don’t know the way
to Galilee.
So are you afraid for me—
afraid I’ll scarcely earn a lay
by lap-dancing gauchely?
What you didn't see
was, I tap-danced myself all the way
to the minor leagues—
the Galilee
Damselfish, to name
the exact team.
You'll know what I mean
when I say bad luck's to blame
for stranding us here in Galilee.
But Jesus had girly feet,
as anyone could see—
they tap-danced on the Sea
of Galilee.
