One of the best entries for the contest, Jack. Perhaps the judge could not relate to the pantomime, but I've seen female impersonator shows and think you have a great poem here! Congratulations on your success, dear friend. Love, Carolyn

Very witty, cool entry for Natalie's contest, Jack! She'll surely love this as much as I do. (Glad you explained "panto," as it's not a word I've heard in American theater. Best wishes for success! Love, Carolyn
