S entimental Shakedown
E very time I think of SPAM
N ever knew what't was before
T ill I learned from Balladeer
I n his poems he often mentioned
M eals of SPAM and Vienna's long
E ndless phrases of enjoyment
N ever ceased to nag Long John
T ales of life that touched my heart
A nchering deep into my soul
L ovely man but he'll give me...a
S entimental Shakedown
H ear the rythem in his poems
A lways flowing like a river
K issing ladies with a smilie
E very page of blue he roams
D o you feel the same my dear
O h my goodness keep it quiet
W hisper it softly into my ear
N ever let it be known to...Balladeer

he'll find his early Saturday morning smile!

Well done, Titia!
