Jules

~Jules~ (Free Verse) Jules was a French circus performer who lived a long time ago He performed the first mid-air summersault in the year 1859 Thus at the tender age of twenty-one he became known all over the world as the "Daring young man on the flying trapeze" and that for him was just fine! He love the circus life but more than anything he enjoyed to perform Doing summersaults was one of the greatest achievements that he did But it seems that every time that he went to perform up there in mid-air He thought that the clothes he wore to perform with was truly not good What to wear during his performances was all the time with him in his mind After a while soon enough he came out with the right answer to all of his care He invented for himself a close-fitting one piece suit that he could wear so well Something that he could wear comfortably all the time when he performed up there Today acrobats and dancers of all ages still wear it and this is history a true fact And still we called it a "Leotard" too and this hasn't changed can you believe it This is in honor for the one who invented it more for more than a whole century ago "Jules Leotard" that's his name, "The daring young man on the flying trapeze! And that's it. That's a fact! Dorian Petersen Potter ladydp2000 copyright@2006 January,02,2015
