The gantlet dropped or so it seemed
With chest puffed full, his smile gleamed
This could be fun...this could be great
Think he'd serve up...then sit and wait

With some confusion understood
The time had come to get him good
And so it seemed that all would pass
Beneath the torts of wind blown gas

But one bright light could take the cause
And stand to wait that jabber jaws
Delivered just like Santa Claus
...And silently precision draws

He thought it safe...He stood up tall
With head held high in certain drawl
And she took aim...a parley fleet
And knocked that snowman from his feet

What would she send...what method made?
How will it end...what strength was laid
To tell the truth but just this grin
...she knocked the stuffin outta him

And so tis said, by scratch of head
Just what was that the champion fed?
Why charmed I'm sure a half baked cure
Put prunes into that fruitcake sir

And fire away...in fact all day
It seems I gotcha I must say!!!


Doodaa...doodahhhh

Yes you got him good
as I knew the ladies would
now he will tuck and hide his tale
as he finally learns that HE WILL FAIL!

OH me,  OH my..you think you are
their guiding light,  shining star.
But truth be known around the room
you are the one without the zoom.

Old Mag now sits back in his chair
hopin and hopin they will appear.
For this small joust is but a gnat
and that quite simply is just that.

Ya bet the ranks of you will appear,
while the boys sit, drinkin cheer.
The hose you weare are full of runs
and to the toilet ya take your buns.

Now come on girls,  give me a feel
to take this fight, make it real.
I have no opponents,  it isn't fair
to pick on ya,  to muss your hair..

Game, Set and Match.....  Again

Love,

Ahhh Kathy,

I see his is over there
what was it you bribed of him.
Was it the locks of hair
or a manicure and a trim?

Noah will never become
the star of a female team.
And for you,  or for some
he is just a silly dream.

No matter how he tells ya
that he is on your side.
I am here to remind ya,
he is still male inside.

And I think you gals will be
walkin the plank of defeat.
For surely now my victory,
so what will be my treat?

I want some of the popcorn
you have hidden far away.
Ya might as well give it
on this..

MY VICTORY DAY!!!!

ROTFL at you jousters.
When they sang the song lyrics
"When will we ever learn?"
they really meant "When will MEN ever learn?"

Apparently we have a very long wait ahead of us.
