It's hot, we salsa

You pass by me, I waltz by you

You and her, you two-step

Next day, round two

Grind with me, shimmy with her

Two to tango, three to.... nothing

If you're going to dance, do it right

very well put together

Wow, this is exactly right!  
 — Isabelle5

I like the title and the feel.  
I know this is just a style thing, but I really think this would be stronger with shorter (2 or 3 beat) lines.  
Line 3 broken up, and drop the "and". Also break lines 4, 6, 7(next round?),
8 (again?), 9, 10, and 12 (dropping "if" and "then")
Not sure I like "three to...nothing" in line 10.  Don't like line 13--not needed.

i like this: made me smile.
i got to 10, though, and thought: hmmmm ... 3?
like the play on wrench/wench ... casual reader will see the former, good reader will catch the word play
not crazy about "gonna" in an otherwise non streat-speak poem

thank you for the correction.
i didnt catch that at all.

and yes, cliche... you're right,
it's very hard to come up with anything new
to write about the most written about feeling.
