So Much For Swagger

Joe clicked his heels Clapped his hands Let out a squeal He was in demand The most popular girl In the entire school Had him carry her books His friends just drooled Back in class Joe's on Cloud Nine His girl, a beauty So very fine... Just then she had another Carry her books-- Alas, Joe's bubble had burst So much for swagger, and as for good looks... September 05, 2019 SWAGGER Poetry Contest Sponsor: Line Gauthier

G'day Gershon … sort of a bit like pride comes before a fall. Just another lesson in life that can be hard - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

The more books they carry, the harder they fall, or something like that. Thanks, Lindsay. :) gw

Poor Joe. I can just see his face and watch his swagger go rapidly downhill. Good luck in the contest.

Don't feel sorry for Joe. He'll latch onto another pretty face soon enough. :) gw

Well written! This brought a smile to my face! I was gonna enter this contest but decided against it! My idea of swagger is not what others think so I believe mine would have been lost in all of these wonderful writes!Good luck my friend!;)

Exactly... Now who's more shallow-- Joe or his girl? That's a close call, methinks. What say you? :) gw
