Ladies and gentlemen!
Step right up!
Welcome to our hall of mysteries!
Don't miss out
on the amazing disappearing man!
He'll wow you!
He'll woo you!
He'll let you get a real good look
and
BLAMMO!
just when you were getting comfortable,
he'll be GONE
without a trace!
Don't bother calling
Don't bother writing
he'll just be GONE!!
Come one, come all!
Tickets are going fast!
No cell phones or flash photography!
Step right up!
If you've seen it before,
come see it again!
It costs a little less every time!
But it's always a BIG surprise!
I guarantee!
Just remember!
Don't enjoy it too much!
He'll just disappear without a trace!

i guess i shouldnt have known this was you, but i read it from your page, not my contest which i havent looked at yet since i put it up last night.so its now not anonymous.
since its my contest, and i make the rules, and have already declared my favouritism, i decide to take no action. good-o.
Quite seperately from that last moment when i saw it was an entry in my contest, i was thinking oh no.
? really?
i cant laugh at this one.
if its about that , crikey,3 pity claps
(and dont let me hear you say you dont take pity, ...everyone should be worthy of such an emotion, pity is the epitome of empathy and there is no shame in accepting or arousing empathy)
tell me i got it all wrong, and its my damn lack of faith in human beings, because then this would be v. funny ha. ha.?

I'll take pity. I'm collecting it. If I get enough I think I can trade it in for a flight to Vegas or something.
I'm afraid you're entirely too right about the subject of this piece.
In the interests of self preservation, I've simply assumed that he was abducted by aliens, and he's too busy enjoying the probing to give me a call... that and cell phone reception sucks in Alpha Centauri... not to mention the long distance rates.
needless to say... I'm no longer holding my breath.
