Toerag has a greasy diner down on Franklin Street. Nothing on the menu there is very fit to eat. Widows have been made by sending husbands there, they say And Toe Main Poisoning seems to be the special of the day! But since Toe is my buddy I stop by once in a while To have a meal and then take Tums to try to fight the bile. Today I had Eggs Benedict, but Toerag, that dumb sap Served it to me on a shiny, Fairlane Ford hubcap!!!! "Hey, Toe!" I screamed. "Are you insane? A hubcap for a plate?? Are you too poor to buy real dishes, you old reprobate?" "Oh, no", said Toe. "I follow the song that everyone plays these days. The one that goes "There is no plates like chrome for the hollandaise"!!  |

Ah, so that is how "Toe Main" poisoning is spelled? haha 'Ya know something?!?--I'd risk the malady just to support our dear friend and give him my patronage! I got a real kick out of this jocular piece de resistance! Linda |

Oh, Lordie... and here I was blaming Piers Anthony for all the very worst puns... only to have you steal his crown away! LOL But you got the news all wrong... Toe's food is mighty fine The owner's downright gorgeous Serving gourmet food and wine!! Yes, there was that little problem When the sailor came to dine... For he'd not seen a bath lately And he wanted to unwind Things did get a bit unruly But our sweet Toe is so kind... He found a way to help a friend And still keep vermin in line He books a special table With it's own neat "RESERVED" sign For Long John at the Bugman's Grill... Where patrons do not mind One more rabble-rouser around Drinking himself blind. |

Hanging is too good for a man who makes puns; he should be drawn and quoted .. Fred Allen (1894-1956) lol .. says it all Never take life too seriously - None of us gets out alive! |
