For those of you that don't know, Balladeer is a rich/wealthy Pest Controller...(he's still trying to find a way to get rid of a pest named Toerag), he has literally hundreds of franchises thru out Florida, (has one Cuban with a flyswatter at each location)...Wishing each of you a healthy, happy and prosperous holiday season and a great New Year..

Twas the night before Christmas
And all thru the house,
Not a creature was stirring
(You can bet not a mouse).

Poor Balladeer,
Was all snug in his bed,
While visions of cockroaches
Danced thru his head.

Milk and cheap cookies
Were left by the hearth,
A carton of Pepto
Case Santa should barf.

All of a sudden
He heard such a clatter,
He jumped outta bed,
To see what's the matter.

Up on the rooftop,
Santa was twitching,
The reindeer were scratching,
Shaking and itching.

With Balladeer's knowledge,
And without hesitation,
He knew of the answer:
A FLEA INFESTATION!!

He ran next store
To his sailor-friend LongJohn
Got his ex-girlfriend's bathsoap,
(Walmart Diazinon)

He opened the top,
Put it on Blitzen,
On Prancer-On Dancer
And finally Vixen.

(You've heard of Vixen,
That reindeer that's blonde,
She once had a fling""
With that sailor LongJohn).

The reindeer felt better,
It was nearly eleven,
Santa kept itching
"Deer" dusted with "Sevin"

Then Santa was off
Yelled over his back,
"Merry Christmas to all"
(by Mistle-Toe-rag).

We certainly need more humor, for sure...especially after this dismal offering!

You are living proof I'm not very good at my job!

May Dursban cookies fill your stocking!!

Yep... Christmas time is here. *G* It turned cold and rainy, which is holiday weather here in the South... and Mistle-Toe-rag has made his long-awaited appearance. *S*

I enjoy this... and the comraderie between you scalawags... more with every passing year. *S*
