. When Balladeer strode into the arena And his stuff began to strut Effjayel laughed like a hyena At Toerag following his Master like a mutt As Young Eff removed his gown The packed crowd went ballistic And poor old ‘Deer could not hide his frown For he knew he would soon be a statistic There could be no mistaking Who was the best man in the room And ‘Deer began violently shaking As he prepared to face his doom When they were brought together by the referee Who asked if the rules were understood The old man whispered ”Please don’t hurt me... I can’t stand the sight of blood “ Balladeer just stood there mesmerised As the bell began to ring When Effjayel hit him between the eyes He heard little birdies sing He could not regain his feet even with the help of Toe And at the final bell, the winner was Effjayel ‘Deer was beaten by a TKO Allright Mike, Throw the towel in Give up this fight because you’ll never win You did the best you can but it’s time to call it quits Because I’ll not fight an unarmed man When it comes to a battle of wits .  "Ignorance is the Enemy...." |

Round 2 ~ and one up!!! It appears that I may have been mistaken and that you truly are the better man! ~ at least in the ring. However, Ball-a-deer is still the best buck that I have ever had. |

Round two goes to effjayel, his star is shining brightly It’s become apparent that he can’t be taken lightly Now it’s up to Balladeer to show what he can do He has some ground to make up after losing in round two The odds are getting even as ole Johnny shows his wit But Balladeer’s in trouble ‘cause he has no place to spit Ole Toe was there at ringside working as his corner man When he picked up ‘Deers bucket and then off with it he ran It seems Toe’s gut was rumbling and he got a sudden urge He grabbed up ‘Deers new bucket and he went outside to purge He ran outside behind a tree and then he took a squat And turned the champ’s new bucket into a port-a-pot Then Toe returned back to the ring and he was feeling swell He told ole Balladeer the bucket served him very well When Balladeer heard what he’d done he almost had a fit He screamed at Toe, “I told you that the bucket is for SPIT!” |

Linda, I’ll leave the duels to Eff and ‘Deer they can fight all day I’d rather spend my energy in a much better way While they are busy poundin’ one another in the ground I’ll be takin’ care of all the pretty girls around So Linda dear, you need to know the real truth of it all If you really need a man you know just who to call The others will just come and go; they’ll never pass the test ‘Cause when it comes to pleasin’ gals this Okie is the best |

Thank you AW... . Linda I had thought that Steve was OK But now I know that is just where he is from You may think he is sweet But I’ll not be beat So send him on his way…. He is suffering from premature infatuation Your pleasure is not his priority When you are ready for fun He will be all done You will be far better off with me |

Toe, I am pulling my punches as I do not want to hurt you too much, I know how hard it must be to recover from a good pasting for you older guys...See that's me, considerate to a 'T'.... |

Oh, dear! After replying to Steve, I just now read your poetic comeback reply to me. What's a girl to do?!? So many choices. So little time. Do you really believe that Steve is suffering from "premature infatuation"?!? That could be a problem. I'll keep your offer in mind and let you know how it all plays out! lol Lindy Lou |

Now Johnny boy I was going to let you have a little break But now it seems you’ve crossed the line and that I cannot take The thumping Balladeer gave you has caused you some confusion If you really want to dance you’re suffering from delusion If I decide to get involved before the day has dawned You’re going to get your sorry butt kicked back across the pond So choose your battles wisely and here’s a little hunch If you get in the ring with me you better pack a lunch You better stick with sparring with ole Balladeer and Toe ‘Cause they take care of all the little wannabes you know Linda, you’re much better off with this ole Okie guy And don’t pay no attention to that blow hard shepherd’s pie |

Thank you so much RDB for all the support you have given me There is a new kid flying high on the block this year So wave goodbye to Balladeer laying him to rest will be a cinch And they will all be impressed (even that Grinch ) I will dispatch him in a timely manner Make sure you catch that Vandana… |

. Now then Steve, I do believe That would be a grave mistake I may have crossed the line But you will find It is your heart that I will break… Only an Okie punk Would think I was punch drunk For the outcome is purely academic If you mess with me then it will surely be You that needs the services of a paramedic Kick my backside across the pond? You got that wrong I’m afraid it is you that is befuddled Linda if it is the truth you seek This pussy is too weak To kick a mouse across a puddle It is a common misnomer That guys from Oklahoma Are full of anything but themself So stick with me & leave that ugly okie Sittin’ on the shelf…. .

It seems one day ole Effjayel was feelin’ pretty cocky Thought when he got in the ring that he could fight like Rocky But he made a huge mistake the day he thought he’d try To match poetic talents with the Oklahoma guy Just one punch was needed in that first and final round It sent ole Eff so high he’d starve before he hit the ground The crowd yelled their approval and they shouted with delight When Sewasham launched the latest British satellite And now ole Eff is circling there somewhere out in space With Sewasham’s glove print tattooed there across his face But no one needs to feel too bad for Effjayel you see ‘Cause now he’s teaching Martians how to brew a spot o’ tea Long will they remember and the tales the folks will tell Of how ole Sewasham kicked the butt of Effjayel And if he ever comes back down he better learn his place Or he’ll get his tea and crumpets kicked back into outer space |

And his stuff began to strut Good grief! It's like fighting Toerag all over again! All talk and no talent. Work on it, son. Your weapons can use a lot of work  |

Well Mike, that just serves to prove how adaptable ( & superior) I am. It is not easy having to modify what I am trying to say in order for the simpletons among you understand & still maintain the flow. You do have a slight advantage having fought Toe in the past. I guess he was a kind of warm up fight for you. Only difference this time around is the ending will be different. I hear you were the winner last time? And therein lies the moral, the last time will be your last taste of victory... I bear you no malice & in fact have a modicum of respect for you old duffers. Now please, retire gracefully, I would hate to turn my fellow Pipsters against me for prolonging the agony and inflicting more pain than is required ... |

hehe...don't worry. As long as you keep trying to rhyme blood with understood and think meter is something you put coins in to park longer, I'm safe enough!  |
