Geez, Louise

A circus performer – Louise - while swinging mid-air by trapeze missed the bar; it was grim. What a pity for him! He had the misfortune to sneeze! Now for Brian Strand's the 'ALL YOURS(May 21)' Poetry Contest

This was fun - I like that it was about a man named "Louise" ... when I was a teen I had very long hair and this old guy in my town called me "Louise" _ I hated him, so I called him Betty! Remember that old song by Johnny Cash? (A Boy Named Sue). You won!!
