Balladeer's from Arkansas,
Way out in the boonies,
He professed to be a psychic,
Some called him "Looney-Toonies"

He never wore shoes or socks,
His feet were thick and hard,
He was a vegitarian,
No meat with any lard.

He was thin and fragile,
Looks like Pee Wee Herman,
His breath is simply awful,
Smelled like road killed vermin.

He could tell your fortune,
Talk with the departed,
Though he was a con man,
He was very tender hearted.

He claims he talks with Elvis,
And is a pal of Moses,
You could best describe him as:
"SUPER-CALLOUSED-FRAGILE-MYSTIC-PLAGUED WITH HALITOSIS"

Ah Toe I think you are being a bit hard on Balladeer, he can't be that bad surely.

But whatever he might be, he's a mighty good poet, but I know you had tongue in cheek but I couldn't help but smile.
