BLACKEYE MYSTERY
James Vincient Johnson 1952 (Algoma WV)
BLACKEYE MYSTERY
EMBARRASSED AT THE OUTCOME OF INJURY
AN EXPLANATION QUITE - QUITE FURY
ABOUT THIS MISHAP AMONG FRIENDS
GAZING ATOP SUNGLASSES
AN EYE, BRUISED, HIGHLIGHTED, REDDISH PURPLE AND SWOLLEN PRACTICALLY SHUT
AH! LAY ODDS ON THE OPPONENT’S RIGHT- CROSS OR IMAGINE.
MAYBE A FALL
OR MAYBE WALL.
A FEELING OF SORRY AS MOST DO
THIS INCIDENT WAS OVERDO
JUST ACKNOWLEDGE A LOST BATTLE
FRIENDS AGAIN, BUT FACTS TATTLE
