An Extraordinary Beauty Pageant

Our community is holding a beauty pageant Which is not that uncommon, right? But the difference is, this pageant ain't for girls Hang on, try to picture this sight To be eligible to enter our little competition You must be breathing just a tad But here's a thing that's just a little bit different To enter you must possess great abs! Fortunately I'm blessed with a body to die for So the others won't stand a chance When it comes to the evening gown competition So stunning, a sure winner at a glance The thrill and excitement just boggles my mind The big networks will all be there David Letterman will likely interview the winner You'll be famous and known everywhere Right on schedule, the alarm clock goes off Ending my thrilling little adventure As I get up, yawn, and stagger past my mirror I flash my pearly white dentures! © Jack Ellison 2012

Is't it funny about dreams, just when it's getting good we have to wake up. Thanks for sharing. Lucilla

AND... as hard as we try we can't remember them after we do wake up! That's okay for the nightmares though! LOL Hugs, Jack
