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!

Gregory Richard Barden Date: 5/22/2021 12:03:00 AM 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!! Login to Reply
