Poor Rebel always had it rough When he went to the beach. The gals would always run away And stay far out of reach. Perhaps it was his sunken chest Or halitosis breath Or buck teeth sticking out a mile That scared the girls to death. Whatever...when he wandered by They scattered out of reach. Such were the days that Local Rebel Walked along the beach. He finally went to Balladeer To get some good advice. He knew when Balladeer approached The girls were ALWAYS nice. He said, "hey, 'deer. I need some help! I don't know how you do it But all the girls just flock to you As if there's nothing to it!" "I know your physique is manly With a face that makes girls swoon. Please tell me what's your secret 'Cause I need to find love soon!!!" "It's easy", 'deer said. "You don't need Looks, brains or all that junk. Just take a boiled potato And stick it down your trunks." "When gals look up and see that lump A fire lights in their eye And passion overwhelms their souls So just give that a try." Next day comes rebel to the beach Lump proudly on display And walks up to a group of gals Who scream and run away. He goes up to another group... Their actions are the same. Five times and he's convinced himself That Balladeer's to blame. "Hey, there, you big man on the beach!" He screamed to BAlladeer. "I did just what you told me And the girls all run in fear!" Balladeer gave him one quick look And said, "Reb, that won't work. The potato has to be placed in The front, you stupid jerk!!!"  |

Deer, that poem drew blood. Excellent I hope this challenge goes on forever. Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |
