Ballet dancer Jennifer Ringer is taking her critic's comments in stride. Alastair MaCaulay, of the New York Times, wrote the ballerina "looked as if she'd eaten one sugarplum too many." Ms. Ringer notes she does have a more womanly figure than your average ballet dancer.
Keeping On Her Toes
In the current Nutcracker,
The lady's no slacker,
And is not upset with her critic.
He thinks she's too plump,
And though he's no chump,
Maybe he's too analytic.
'Cause Jen's quite a dancer;
For the show, an enhancer;
Though Al sees a need to lose weight.
But she's here to stay
A gift to Ballet,
And her audience calls her first rate.
