This is by an old old friend of mine, some of you may have heard of him.....

How about them lunch toters
Ain't they a bunch?
Goin' off to work
A-totin they lunch.

Totin' them vittles,
totin' that chow
Eatin' it later,
But a-totin it now.

Look at them lunch toters,
Aint they funny?
Some use a paper sack,
Some use a gunny.

Them food-frugal lunch Toters
Ain't they wise?
Totin' they lunches,
Made by they wives.

How to be a lunch toter?
Iffya may emote it,
Gitchy wife to fix it,
Go to work and tote it!

Now THIS to me is vintage Toerag...clever, witty and dumb-sounding enough that it took a smart man to write it. Hats off to ya here, Toe!

Wow, you mean you really have a friend.
Maybe his wife will fix you some lunch.
