Let me begin by saying this is the first poem I have written....so please be kind.... I live in Florida And I must confess That Balladeers' my bug man And yes he is the best He shoos' and sprays And does his thing And I know when he is done That I won't find a bug around No not even one He makes my life much easier I can sleep at night Knowing in his capable hands There will not be a fright And so Toerag and suthern You may chid him so But in my eyes my bug man Is certainly my hero ------------------ May your days be filled with lots of sunshine and your nights lit up by golden moonbeams [This message has been edited by rcarnell (edited 10-03-1999).] |

thanks WildChild for replying and so quick at that....I tried to line it up but I must be doing something wrong...Your kind words mean alot to me as I really was so scared to post as I am not a poet by any means...just one who loves the art form ...... ------------------ May your days be filled with lots of sunshine and your nights lit up by golden moonbeams |

and I thank YOU, Pepper, for being a special friend. Words like these from you mean much more than the insults that evil Toerag and Suthern bombard me with (that dastardly duo). I enjoy being your bug man very much. |

pepper I liked this, is very touching... you asked for help in making it look like you want it to, I usually type in the word processor, and then cut and paste into the post box...instead of trying to line up with space bar, try pressing enter to get to a new line |

Pepper....ya done good gal....subject kinda sucked, but everything else was well done...LOL....You do know I love Balladeer don't ya? Really, I think the world of him and envy his intelligence, wit, and knowledge of poetry. If I didn't think so highly of him, or didn't like him so much, ya think I'd try to torment him so?....LOL |

Pepper...yanno...if Balladeer's as good as a pest control guy as he is a poet, then ya probably don't get flys or nuthin?....I know they follow him around and such..they do seem to flock around dung yanno....but when ya use that spray for deodorant, it does help I'd imagine.... |

Very worthy effort for your first poem. But, like the others I have some questions: What does he do with the bugs he kills? Does he put them in little jars and take them with him? Does he wear a 'spacesuit' when he's spraying?  Thanks!!!!! |
