Balladeer's decided,
To become a human shield,
So he's headin' over to Iraq,
To offer them a deal.

He'll protect the Baghdad airport,
And without an ounce of fear,
(He could shield the entire city)
And only use his rear!

Thanks Toe, for the grin. We definitely need to laugh at these sad times.  You do all of us a service just keeping us laughing.

Hugs you, Pat

Hey, Seymour! Careful with the pork cracks!!

Linda...It doesn't mean that at all! He's just trying to make me the "butt" of his little joke...ignore him!!! (I have a dainty derrierre)

Toerag, my old and even bordering on ancient friend, I am wounded. For you - YOU!! - to refer to my having a humongous hiney...YOU! whose bare butt exposed created the phrase "Crack kills"...makes me very sad. I think I'll sit and compose a small poem to get over this disappointment.

You'll see it soon....

Well, well, well. Old Toerag must be feeling unabused.  I'm so happy to see that he's about to be disparaged by a true scalawag.  Finally, everybody here will see that Toe has no virtues comparable to 'Deer's and my own.  Go get him 'Deer.  Teach that rascal a lesson we'll never forget.

I've just popped some popcorn see
Come Suthern, come sit next to me
Together we'll watch the show
while sitting here in the front row

Toereg nagging Balladeer
About his aledgeble big rear
Balladeer drowning Toe in rhyme
Will he be recovered and back in time

LongJohnAg he's just lit the wire
The fuse will explode and put on the fire
Come on dear Ball, let's start the chase
As only you can in your poetic phrase

Enjoying myself here!

Titia

Toerag,
you may be the lifeline that holds so many of us sane during these troubled times...your wacky sense of humour and compassion makes you pour oil over troubled waters with grace...you relieved a hell lot of tension here...

thanks
