T'was in the spring of two thousand and two,
Larry C gambled on bagging big game,
threw caution to wind, said of you know who,
"Your picture looks different, it's not the same!"

Many have tried to depose the old "Deer",
that consummate artist, master of ink.
"I'll take a shot, I've got nothing to fear."
(in his nievity Larry did think.)

Comments were made about "Deers'" age and such,
(not for the first time, nor for the last)
something was mentioned of needing a crutch,
and in that moment were Larrys' dice cast.

Odds on the favorite, the house made the book,
no even money was offered at all.
Both ways when crossing old "Deers" path should look.
(Lady Luck help you you're bound for a fall.)

Once in my youth I did foolishly dream,
to set my sights on the king of the house.
Logic prevented that mistake it seems.
(better a safe Moose than a trampled mouse!)

But I digress this is Larry Cs' tale,
stay tuned to see if his number comes up.
In life's casino there's fish, and there's whales,
I'll bet old "Deer" makes short work of this pup!


P.S.
No offense Larry, but I've seen this game played out before, with predictable results. Best of luck though. Regards,
Doc

Moose darling boy I like this it made me laugh, really good writing, and the house hasn’t lost a throw of the dice yet. Mmm fabulous I’m still smiling.


Love and warm stuff

Ha Moose, let the games begin and I'm sitting in first row to watch the slaughtering, drinks and popcorn on hand.

Great poem!

Hey, Doc, you got it wrong, my friend!
I'm gentle as can be.
I never would attack a man
For being rude to me.

I'm sure some strange phenomonem
Caused him to act that way.
Perhaps a brick fell on his head
And knocked his sense away.

He said that he was convalescing
And there is a rumor
The problem lies up in his brain
And folks think it's a tumor!

He could have been possessed, you know.
Some brains cannot resist
Temptations evil spirits cause
Without an exorcist.

He could have gone to Wendy's
Had a burger with some cheese
From some cow born in England
With that darn mad cow disease.

I'm sure there was a reason
And I'm not one to complain.
I'll simply feel sorry for
A man who's gone insane....

(of course, if you check out The Story of Larry C on page 2 you will find that I did have a tiny bit to say )

Thanks, Doc!!

Doc,
As have I. The difference was that I didn't play to win...I played to play! ROTFLMBO All your points are well made and pretty much ignored. LOL Seems my common sense works everywhere but here. Excellent job ya' know.

It's never too late to have a good childhood! Woohoo!
