When Balladeer was ten years old, He thought he had it made, He'd finally completed, Three years in second grade. His life was always kind of sad, His weight-his looks and clothes, Last one picked on baseball teams, But first to pick his nose. When he turned twelve a child was born, Toerag was his name. A special kind of baby boy, Had a penis AND a brain. Now Toe grew up quite popular, A boy with looks and charm Cared for those less fortunate, Protecting them from harm. When Toe turned twelve and graduated, From a college way back east, He heard of Balladeer the scorned, Whom eveyone had teased. 'Deer was bussing tables, At "Al Sharpton's House of Soul' Making less than legal wage, And had no place to go. Toe took Balladeer, Beneath his caring wing, Taught himn to write poetry, Then taught him how to sing. He soon became an expert, Sang at church and then on stage, He wrote a book of poetry, With delight on every page. Toe got him on a talent show, Where he had no chance of 'losin' He's now an American Idol, And he's changed his name to 'Ruben' |

Makes sense to me! Afterall, I always thought of our dear Deer being rather 'ruben'esque!!!  Linda |

Dear Mr. Toerag, Thank you for sharing your literary genius with those of us who strive to write poetry. Your biographic work of Balladeer is marked among my collection of classics. You weave your physical body parts, humor and honesty so well. You, Mr. Toerag, are admirable. Again, my humble thanks. Most sincerely and admirably, Alison |

Sorry Toe, that isn't so And I think 'Deer should throw in the towel Because it seems to me, he appears to be; More like Simon Cowell.. |

Obviously, Toerag is also writing under the name Allison. Literary genius? Classics? Woven body parts? Nobody but Toe could write that!!  |

I am new here... but I liked that plenty... and I like how everybody chips in and adds lines. This was very humorous and I am glad I clicked on it. |
