I heard in a weard dream
of ninethousand Balladeers
throwing spam around
just didn't believe my ears

It was a frightening thought
one I could not well take
for deers and spam were piling up
in a Vienna Saucages lake

That's when I did wake up
and I was so glad to hear
there was no throwing spam
and only one sweet Balladeer

I learned that this dear gifted poet
has a ninethousand posts account
and that you must believe my friends
is quite a non-frightening sound

Ninethousand Balladeers
ninethousand love replies
ninethousand funny tales
ninethousand sunny skies

And so I'll end this story
of Balladeer's 9000th post
to you my sweet dear friend
I'll raise my glass to toast





A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

Titia~
You got me *giggling*
<=====================>
He is a 'deer'
there is no doubt
Those Vienna Sausages
he can't live without

There's also something
really fanatical
about a guy
who is so radical
It implores me
to speak in kind
of a man
who speaks his mind

Not all listen
or agree
but there's one thing
about 'deer' that suits me
It's his famous reputation
for spreading SPAM's glory
across the nation !

Heights of euphoric
rhyme you'll see
After he's consumed
a can
OR three !

He's the top of the heap
The creme del a creme
The poet that we love  
Amen !  Amen !

*Deer oh deer ...
where are you tonight ?
Why did you leave us
here all alone ?
We've searched the forums over
just waiting to find
Da man - Da man
that is sooooooooo divine !


Congrats, you sweet thang !
*HUGS*

Titia..

The rumors of my love for Spam are grossly overrated!
True...I've not regarded it as something that I hated
But there are also other things that I love eating so
And I had something different, oh, about a month ago!

It's true I like the feel of Spam 'cause it's so nice and tender
And it can make a wondrous shake with milk in my big blender.
I like to eat it fried, sauteed, flambe'd or barbequed
And it's a fact that I consider it a perfect food...

But there are other things I like as much or more, it's true
And just to prove it I'll tell you one thing right now.....it's YOU!!!!!



Hey, Marge!! You would be proud of me! I took cake icing and turned a can of Spam into the American flag! Imagine! Stars and stripes painted on a slab of Spam! It makes a wonderful flag!!!



SEA and Enchantress..

Let the good times pour!!!!!!!

I think you two are perhaps the reason Lithium was invented.  Just kidding.  lol  
Truth is, I can no longer buy Spam at the grocery without thinking of Balladeer.  Yes, I need to get out more often.  But if I did, I would miss this, right?  Hmmm...choices.  Life or Pip, Pip or Life.  Flipping a coin...

Raise a glass??? Count me in. TOAST, CHEERS, SALIENTE (that's for my Irish half)

Congratulations Baladeer, and to Titia for such a lovely tribute

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
