When I woke up 'dis mornin'
And clambered outta bed
The question posed by that crafty Cole
Knocked me in da head!
She talked about the Internet
And how the love was gone
In the battle for attention
Her sewin' hobby won
Michelle then jumped on stage
And did a country dance
Swingin' her pencil to and fro
She thrust it like a lance
What ya do fer hobbies?
These women yelled at me
What ya do to keep yer muse
Laughin' wild and free?
I had to think a moment
'Fore yellin' me reply
I didn' wanna come off soundin'
Like a dorky guy
So I struck a manly pose
And flexed me biceps too
I wove a tale of splendor
Bout what I like to do
The games, they come a callin'
When I be needin' a smile
Me n the boys, we play the games
Laughin' all the while
And when all is said and done
My muse, he beckons me
He whispers words in me ears again
While swingin' from a tree
With nothing more to tell 'em
I spied the other Michelle
It's time for her to share her tale
C'mon lass, ring their bell!
And those of you out there listenin'
Come and join the show
Tell us 'bout your hobbies
Before it's time to go
Tell us 'bout your hobbies
BEFORE........IT'S........TIME........TO........GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

A friend of mine has a son who performs Irish dances, so your poem reminds me of him. Very impressive to answer this question in verse!
