Sadie dazzled the world, but couldn’t recall
Exactly with what, though the crowds, she’d enthrall
Some kind of doohickey, she would make spin
One by one, they would twirl, from her neck to her shin
Sparkling metal that went around and around
Never did she ever drop one, on the ground
There was only one problem with her great skill
When someone would ask what she did, oh the chill
That ran through her body, she’d feel her face blush
She couldn’t remember, so she’d leave in a rush
Til one day she tripped, hit her head, nincompoop!
Twas then she recalled, her beloved hula hoop
Whirling and twirling, so happy to remember
She continued to shake, from July til September
The others would watch in awe, then with a smile
Sadie tossed her hoops, and went out in style
