Some time ago in Africa
where Balladeer was king
He envied all the other tribes
so had his subjects bring

The other rulers thrones to him
which he then stashed upstairs
A secret known to just a few
the rest, quite unawares

His kingdom was impoverished
his castle made of straw
and as his throne collection grew
in proof of Newton's law

It all crashed down about his head
and broke his funny bone
'cause when you live in a grass house
you shoudn't be stowing thrones

Doc... you hit my funny bone!

Thanks for the smiles.

No really thanks, not that I'm not goofy enough as it is....

You may write for your own enjoyment, but you can pass it on to me for my edification any time.

JL,
My thanks to you . PIP has been putting up with me for twelve years now, I'm not really sure why. I only know I really enjoy
making people laugh, or groan, whichever. I guess that's why I'm here.

Where is Balladeer?  He is letting this go unanswered.  My lands.  My head is spinning!     Very funny, witty and creative.  I love this.
