Balladeer killed bugs For fifty some odd years, He's finally retiring, Goin' home to raise some steers. The company had a party, Gave him a watch of gold, It was quite a wonderous watch, Just what he needed as he grew old. Fifty some years of working, And now a watch of gold is what it's about, Telling time at a glance, As he watches time run out. A can of "Raid" and this watch, A life of simple ease, Buggin' the hell outta Toerag, He's an easy man to please! |

I'm sure he's happiest when he's bugging Toerag! *G* (And a gold watch sure beats what my employers gave ME! LOL) Great poem, sweets! |

ToeBabe~ When Balladeer retires He'll just sit and write Picking on the ToeRag with all of his might. He'll laugh and fire off volleys of poems in delight. Checking his watch in the middle of the night. You know he'll get you fired up with his ingenious rhyme. Cause now that he's retiring he's got nothing but TIME ! *You are a wascal !  Wuv ya' ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Hey there, Toe! I was just wondering the same thing about you. Where ya' been. Good to see your smiling face here. Balladeer will come out of hiding when he see's you're here ... can almost guarantee that. Take care, my friend.

Yanno, sweets... things are so much more lively when you're around... if you could only stay, Balladeer might delay his retirement for many years! *G* He'd complain, of course... but sparring with you beats watching time tick away. LOL. The two of you have certainly breathed laughter into my life many times... without it, this gal is dragging butt! *G* |
