To keep the wolves out of his sheep "Deer" fenced them all around A mighty fortress as it were a furry flock impound Which worked quite well until one day "Deer" had to go to town In finding he'd not built a gate "Deer" scratched his head and frowned "If I put in a gate I fear the wolves might work the latch, and then my sheep are history I'll lose the whole darn batch" "I know," he said "I'll build some steps to go over the top." "I know that wolves do not climb stairs that ought to make them stop." "Deer" built the steps and stopped the wolves and this part makes me smile 'cause let me be the first to say he's got a certain "stile" |

Yes indeed, Deer, does have stile. But then, so do you, Dr. Moose. |

OKRose, Thanks, I'm just havin' a little fun with my buddy, but I'm glad you stopped in to pick up on the humor. Doc Alison, Thanks, are we havin' fun yet? This is why I'm here, It's the totality of why I write, I love to make people laugh. It took me a while to realize that. You get up in the morning, you get your cup o' joe, you flip the television on or read the paper so like me you get disgusted, 'cause it's all just bad, bad, bad, and then you come to see Doc Moose for humor, just a tad bit different from your normal fare I'm out there as can be the only reason I can think of why you folks put up with me.

LOL... You didn't just give me a smile... you rolled me down memory lane. *S* There were steps over the fence at the fire tower where my uncle worked... they were everything from mountains to a tent for my cousins and me. *S* |

Ida, Thank you, to say I've learned a lot from some of the best there are would be an understatement, I think this place tends to inspire all of us. Doc Sunshine, Lol, now you're "stilin'" gal. Doc Balladeer, As I'm sure you will m'friend, as I'm sure you will. Doc |
