Shake n' Bake With A Wink
~*Marge Tindal*~

I browsed every birthday catalog
Viewed every Internet page
Could not find a gift to suit
my pocketbook OR your age !

So my sweet friend
you are stuck
with this silly poem
and with a little luck ...
I'll patty cake your patty cake
roll it up and watch it bake
Place a candle on it's top
blow until you beg me stop !
SPAM it 'til it's time to eat
If you desire - we will repeat
Make your wish you adorable man
SPAM you want ? - SPAM I am !

Happy Birthday, sweet Balladeer !

August 18th
I know it's tomorrow ... but I got excited !
Love you, Mister~
~HUGS~

Oh Balladeer, my dearest friend
take notice of the wishes I send
I won't sing a song on your event
for pure my voice was not to be ment

I wish you a lot of years to come
I wish you happy years at least some
I wish you health and a sound mind
I wish you lots of presents of all kind
I wish you friends who touch your heart
I wish you wisdom wich you use smart
I wish you a muse to stay at your side
I wish you a birthdaycake for you to bite

So Balladeer, my dearest friend
those are the wishes I you do send
From my good heart it all was ment
may you keep your humor till the end

Titia

Well, try as I might I couldn't find a store with enough candles so I got what I consider to be the next best thing.  I hope it is okay with you as you have already had it gifted upon you once but what the hey......I'm cheap. LOL   HAPPY BIRTHDAY "KING OF BALLADS" and class.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  A Poet is in Love


His eyes rest upon her as he is caught in her gaze
His heart a pounding with the thought of her on a shelf
With his gentle touch and his caring words of praise
Her body and her soul are about to give him his wealth
No thought of not nor any chance of turning away
She is now his as he has taken her soul
Straight to his heart forever she will stay
To caress, hold, and taste her is his goal
Loving hands sweep across her tender flesh
As her man made binds are tossed to the side
His lips upon her as the two of them mesh
Within her depths his soul will glide
Ravages of lust and desire today are his will
Reality of simple pleasures are now in his heart
Empty casings filled with her lovers swill
Him never knowing that soon she will depart
Remains of pleasures are no where to be found
His soul dazed from passion in his blinded haste
A hearty laugh from his hollows suddenly abound
As our Balladeer will put no can of spam to waste

To give you much enjoyment--
Before it gets too late!

May it just be the Best-
For you surely deserve it!

Counting the Reasons
  A Birthday Poem for Balladeer

I think I will stay home today and celebrate your birth --
examine all the reasons why God put you here on earth.
I'll count the reasons one by one, and count them once again,
the first one is so obvious -- to hold your fountain pen --
That's reason one, I guess, my 'deer, that God has put you here --
to write fine verse and bring to light life's circumstances clear.
But there are oh so many more -- my counting's just beginning--
The ball's been pitched and I am at the top of the first inning.
Your spirit, heart and honesty, are reasons two, three, four --
but, Michael, I've just started, there are oh so many more.
Your kindness and your giving nature, reasons five and six --
this counting could go on all day, that's what my heart predicts!
This is the top of inning number one, with eight to go --
I could be counting 'til the winter when it starts to snow!
I took just one day off from work to count and celebrate --
I think I'll have to call my job and tell them I'll be late!
One day to count is not enough -- I'll need to take vacation --
these words are just a small attempt to show my admiration.
I better stop this poetry, return to counting reasons --
before the summer fades to fall and God changes the seasons.

Happy Birthday, Michael!!



it's a repost, babe, you sweet kind wonderful Poet, from last year,....LOL... but hey, sometimes repeating might be ok.... wouldn't it?....like we've always said the best gifts are those which you can read and come in small packages.... no, WAIT, we never said that... geesh... but great gifts can last a long long time, you know, gifts that keep on giving, so i thought it would be ok to repeat myself since lord knows, why not?.... and so i'll say again this year, HAPPY HAPPY, my 'deer, and just remember, i wasn't going to say it until tomorrow or the day after because sometimes being last is a good thing and also remember this..... oh phooey!! i forgot what i was going to say, but trust me, it was very profound and when i think of it, i'll get it touch.... getting in touch could be a good thing... but back to the birthday, have a happy one, please? and do something fun and exciting!!! i  always like to on my birthday.... birthdays are cool, and yours is one of the coolest, so chill, ok? and enjoy this one and many many more.....*wink*

so, Balladeer's the birthday boy
well, count me in to share the joy
I'll help our Margie sing the tune
and then I'll blow up your balloon

now...looking at your birthday flame
it's seems to me it's rather lame
so here's another candle, sir
I'll light your fire if you concur

speaking of that birthday cake
I hope it's not SPAM she did bake
I surely would enjoy a slice
a taste of frosting could entice

so, Happy Birthday, gentle man
best wishes from your biggest fan
and though it isn't SPAM I be
I'll satisfy...I guarantee  

Happy Birthday, Balladeer!
Love and hugs,
~Vicky

Marge ... you're terrific ... wonderful birthday wishes for a wonderful man!  

Happy Birthday Michael!  

Deer Michael, I must truly say,
You touch my heart, it's true,
But then of course you know this deer,
For you are simply "you".

A friend, a poet, better yet,
You are one of a kind,
You touch my soul, you speak my heart,
You tantalize my mind.

You reach into my very depths,
You captivate me whole,
You have a way of reaching in,
And luring out my soul.

'Tis not a lot of gentlemen,
That I do hold as deer,
As you, the poet of my heart …
Sweet, gentle Balladeer.

Best wishes and hugs,
/Kit

There was a poet named Balladeer...
Who said Im not getting older...no not one more year.
I refuse to give in to age and retire ...
I've got too many bugs I have to help expire.
Im not having birthdays any more
From now on I'll become a year younger than I was before.
I know the secrets to staying young and fit,
Two simple words make up the long and short of it.
GOLF & SPAM ... thats all I need...
Give me my clubs and a spammy sandwich upon which to feed.
Sy and Randy can join me on the green
The 3 of us will cause quite the scene
Golf keeps me young, fit and fast as a horse
So does drag racing in the golf cart across the course.
So no more birthdays...no more aging with grace
Just give me a hole in one and spam, they'll put a smile on my face

So forgive me friends I wont be taking those Birthday calls...
And remember what they say about golfers...
"THEY DONT GET OLDER...THEY JUST LOSE THEIR BALLS"    





Sy and Deer    

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL
MAY ALL YOUR BALLS BE HOLES IN ONE
AND ALL YOUR KISSES BE SPAMMY SMOOCHES

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BALLADEER


                  
I knew there'd be a gathering,
So I brought the party game.
Now I know you'll like this one,
Just look at the name!  

After all it is your birthday,
We'll play the Spam Trivial Pursuit game,
Only for you will I play that thing,
I think the whole idea is really lame.

I wish you years of happiness,
And many more cans of Spam,
But I haven't decided who is worse,
That Spam, or you Balladeer, you ham!:  

Instead, we could trip the light fantastic,
You and I travel around the globe.
You'd forget your love of Spam I promise,
I'd do more than nibble at your lobe!  

So here's to your birthday Balladeer,
I hope you really have great fun,
I would have come but I heard what your serving,
How could you Balladeer?  Spam on a bun????

         

Happy Birthday Michael, and Many More!

Have fun playing the game!

A Birthday Tribute to Michael

Here’s to the Poet Laureate, here’s to the Prince of Rhyme
The Wizard of the Ballad, and the Man of Metered Time

The Conjurer of Narrative, the weaver of a tale
Who spins a yarn of innocence against a worldly sail

The poet friend, the lover, the Master of the Word
Basking in the wild of life, humbled by a bird

Seeker of identity and roamer of the sea
Steady rock of courage in the light of destiny

Golden thread of Passions, Keeper of the Dream
Helmsman of the charted course through quickly flowing stream

Maker of a miracle, courier of  praise
Poet of the common man whose woven in a phrase,

I lay upon the page of blue a symbol of my trust
And honor with a humble verse, the one who honors us

Best wishes
and a Happy Birthday kiss
from a poet friend
Liz

I'm late as usual to the birthday bash
A party now that I cannot crash
Whao' is me! I missed it all
I'm sure for Balladeer it was a ball!
Happy birthday birthday boy
You bring these pages lots of joy!
I'd sing you a song,   but it won't go through
Happy birthday dear Balladeer, happy birthday to you!

Balladeer......Wishing you wonderful birthday blassings!

"Happy Birthday"

H appiness and best wishes to you.
A nother year of life to be cherished.
P retty packages tied up with bows,
P arty favors and decorations.
Y esterdays full of fond memories.
B rightly lit candles atop the cake,
I ncreased by one each and every year.
R ead your cards and cut the cake.
H and out the goodies,
D reaming your dreams;
A nd knowing all the while.
Y ou have the power to make them come true.

And may you enjoy many many more.
Love and blessings always,
Eno

Words are my medicine.
Read and live and love and heal!
