Please listen all, I shan't repeat,
A virus bad as Toto's feet,
It freezes cold, your hard drive's all,
'Tis rumored to have caused Rome's fall,
It heats up your refrigerator,
Its nickname is, Exterminator.
Redubs CD's to Manilow,
On TV sets, it causes snow,
It caused the Dow to fatally crash,
Has redyed clothes, so colors clash,
Caused Ogden Nash to lose his rhyme,
Has given speech to silent mime,
All toilet seats remain upright,
Pirannahs fear its ghoulish bite,
Reboots windows, turns into Dos,
Erases disks, full memory loss,
I know for sure, world soon will fail,
Because I read, on my email.

Martie, Martie, Martie...  I guess what can you expect from a California Valley girl. hehe
Toto has a tendency to run around barepawed in the Kansas feedlots.

Hey my pretties, let's not be badmouthing spam here... nothing like a little spam and peanutbutter sandwich for a quick pick me up.
ya can't fool me Martie, I came to California once in the 30's to make a movie...  people were trying to drop houses on me and throwing water at me...
in any event... glad you all enjoyed.  Take care all.
