Collection Time
By Larry Chadwick


Now I recognize that much time has passed,
But there was a day that was quite special here.
And so it is not my intent to cause any shame,
For this is actually about our beloved Balladeer.

After all it was in the year of 2001,
That I made a Salute to Balladeer.
It was done without expectation,
And then he made a promise that I held near.

So very gently I'd like to refresh his mind,
That I'm here to claim the debt owed to me.
And if you follow the link above,
It will be very plain to see.

So it doesn't need to be grand,
It doesn't need to be done with humility.
However, it should show in kind,
The respect with which you held me.

July 18, 2007

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Larry, what goes around, comes around!

You're one clever little attention-grabber ~ and utterly ADORABLE!!!

I clicked on both of your links (now, now, remember I'm an 'angel')and doubled my pleasure!

You are worthy of kudos in kind from our Deer Ball-a-Deer. I'll be keeping my three eyes open for it!

Congratulations on your ten grand!

ROFL... I love this "invoice"! LOL And what a challenge you've set forth... asking Bal to "play nice" towards one of his favorite targets. LOL

Congratulations on the milestone, my friend... what a kind and caring heart you've shown us through your words...

well... excepting the aforementioned antics with Deer, Toe, LJA, et al. LOL

I'm looking forward to both Deer's payment and your next 10000! *S*

Hey la(mom),
hehe Nope just ploddin' along. And thanks for noticing.

Linda,
Aw, it's okay it was no bother. And thanks a ton.

Donna,
Well, ya' know I've waited six years so what's a few days. Besides, 'deer is getting slow in his old age. He'll get to it eventually.

Lauren,
Me too! Maybe he misplaced his glasses. Or maybe it's a lot of work to write one of those first rate classics that become annual reposts.

Magnus,
Well, thank you now kind sir. Let's see if he's good for his word.

I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

That's okay... *sniff*

Just leave me out... *sniff*... ignore me... *sniff*... I'm used to it! *sniff sniff*

So I won't take it personally *sniff sniff... wail!*

I'll just mosey over Bal's way and see if he needs any "help" writing about you.

*smooch*
