Debbie-Do Flew

As a girl in my teen I did stray
to the circus I did run away
I wanted to fly
high in the sky
But, Mother wanted me to dance ballet!

Yes Debbie-Do flew upon a trapeze
in sequined tights with a rod 'tween her knees
her hair in a tail
her cleavage unveiled
I was the toast of the town if you please!

As I preened on the platform up high
and powdered my two hands and my thighs
one fine reporter
said I really aughta
Try out for the circus in Shanghai.

Enjoyable Limerick read-I liked it very much. Your kicker "Shanghai" is good.

Very cliff-hanging stuff, Dbb (oh, someday, be on the look out for my poem with the word/name DollBaBy in it. Hehe). You sure are a life of the party?

Quite a sight I must say Debbie, I think there's no ease on a flying trapeze but be that as it may it is easy to say you'r a sight that does tease (the eye of course:) Luv, Lizzie

Hi Debbie :D! Well this sure is a super fun write! Now I can't help but imagine you way up there in your sequined tights! And hmmm you mentioning Shanghai now makes me think of those Chinese contortionists-- have you ever seen them? Amazing! Btw, just me, but maybe that is 'oughta'? If I'm wrong, chalk it up to silly monkey :D Also thanks so much to you & Cyndi for my placement in your contest :D I know my meter still needs major work, heehee :D but happy to have written that :D hugs to you!

LOL This is brilliant, Deb. Had such fun reading it! (My mom insisted I take ballet if I wanted acrobat lessons.) Looks like quite a few of us chose to write about the high wire walkers at the circus. The last verse had me rolling. Winning wishes for you, dear. Love, Carolyn
