From time to time some of you know I use my addled pate
dispelling myths and rumors so's to set the record straight.
And this would be one of those times I'd like to make it clear
though you may think I'm Dr. Moose, I'm really Balladeer!

By now you must have noticed that we share a certain style
and often pick on Toe and Jhn to make our readers smile.
To live a lie like we've been doing is not what life's about
so open up those closet doors, 'cause folks we're coming out!

Coincidence? I think it not, the Workshop's where we hang
it's there we craft our latest plots to deal with LngJhnAng
and Toe, oh, leave us not forget that on the other foot
he ought to put a sock in it, the end, fini, kaput.

So, there you have it Passions friends, I've set the record straight
the "Deer" is me, and I'm the "Deer" and geez! Look at the date!
I'd best get to the workshop 'fore they figure out I'm here
impersonating Dr. Moose as well as Balladeer.

I've read your words with great elation
Concerning our impersonation.
The cat is now out of the bag
On how we've fooled that poor Toerag.
He thought he was attacking me
But it was really Moose, you see.
And when I crushed him with a pun
He thought that it was Moose! What fun!
Although we know it's no great feat
To make a sheep like Toerag bleat
We are a team, the Doc and I,
To make a man like Toerag cry.
So funny how everyone want to be like Balladeer. Hey, I feel a poem coming on...!!!

No wonder I have had to work twice as hard in the Poetry Workshop!

This had me laughing all day.

Lori,
Thanks, you hear so much about identity theft these days I figured I'd give it a try.
Doc

Dreamgal,
Thanks, it's the high point of any day if I can give someone a chuckle or two.
Doc

Sunshine,
Many thank yous dear lady, from all of us at "Doc Central".
Doc

Ida,
Thanks for stopping by hope you enjoyed a laugh.
Doc

Balladeer,
My friend, I wondered all day what your response would be to my little attempt at "Identity theft", lol. Glad to see you took it all in stride and hopefully had a laugh or two while doing so. Happy April Fools.
Doc

Alison,
Lol, maybe that's why your results are twice as good. Thanks, glad you enjoyed.
Doc

Confusin' Fusion

Next, you may steal Dr. Seuss,
Balladeer and Dr. Moose,
It's April Fools and I'm obtuse,
so I give up; what's the use

of loving one, when I can fall
in chanted rhyme and love 'em all!

LOL!
Good fun.
You April foolin guys.
I love the banter.

Poor ol Toe
Nowhere to go
Gets all the blame
But can't be shamed.
When two attack it's OK
He'll still be here another day.

You guys can't beat him.
I've watched it for many many years....He's just too TOUGH!!

Loved this Doc
