Another I haven't read. Good one too. That sneeze on the trapeze could have been very wet, which could lead to a fatal slip. Love, daver

Hi, Andrea,,, bless you by the way... anyways! I don't diss my name... I'd just prefer to be called by the name of my beautiful side... he he he! Guess what? I wonder much about the soup, right now... I think I'm unfolding the towel and tossing it in. This place has changed, nothing really worth sticking around for. I do enjoy most poets, but as for other that don't appreciate my support can all go to H3LL!" DID you know some poet, blocked me again with out even knowing me. Don't get me wrong I get a high value of support. Gees! I feel as I'm dealing with wanna be GODs. treating me like a sinner on this site.. ha ha! I'm a sweet little kitty.. MEOW~~ anyways... let me go and bother some of your other poems

What a joy to read a Limerick, written correctly. What a pity so many do not do so! (Even Contest Winners!) Charles.

I am sooo glad you didn't write your name on this entry, Andrea! I judged the top 15...then off to the ice cream parlor this evening..3 poets did the final round using a laff meter...I was taken in by the scene of this one..I can just picture the snot flying on the trapeze-Jeez! You painted a very nice scene here! Congrats darling. Congrats..on some super duper aggressive judging. Gwendolen
