(Sung to the tune of "Popeye The Sailor Man)

Call Balladeer's Pest Control Inc.
If ya got bugs in your sink,
He's got ten high school seniors
That are bug-swatter swingers
No poisons to make your house stink.

That's Balladeer's Pest Control
If you've got mice coming out of their holes
He's got five mangy cats
That will eat up your rats
No unpleasant smells to your nose

Call Balladeer's Pest Killing Crew
He gets fleas off of animals too
He picks them off with his teeth
He's an expert with sheep
He'll get LongJohn's crabs off your ewes!

ROFLMAO!!!! If he'll upgrade to college men, I'll give him my business just for the show! LOL

I loved this, sweets... I just can't tell you how it kickstarts my day to find the shenanigans of my favorite trio waiting to entertain me and brighten my morning. *S* People aren't going to recognize this smiling face I'm wearing! *G*

But about those cats.... Deer One, you do realize that this suthern gal loves felines, don't you? *G* You'd better take good care of them... or I'll unsheathe MY claws! LOL

Hmm...interesting...a chemical free pest control. I think the country is read for something like this. Does it work on ex husbands? LOL

PDV: Unfortunately, it doesn't. *G* No formula has been found effective for those creatures. *S* This environmentally safe pest control can tackle nits... but exes are usually surrounded by TWITS! *G*

Let's all now give a mighty cheer
For pest control by Balladeer!
Your roaches, fleas, mice and termites
Will all succumb, you'll have no fights!

But there is one thing you must do...
Make sure Long John's not on his crew!
He's a massive bug factory
And will chase your cats with glee!

So c'mon, take care of your house
Rid it of every bug and louse!
Bal's a great bug man, (finer poet *G*)
You'll be glad you called - I know it!

LOL... Okay... I couldn't resist. *G* But then, I guess I'd have to try to resist before I stood a chance of succeeding? LOL

Well, the first part of the poem was good, but I sometimes wonder what I did to receive such this vituperative form of villification.  Oh well.

Toe darling boy I liked this one I really did, you know keep this up and you will have me smiling as often as ‘Deer does. Well written, Big smile
Really excellent writing, was that a shot across ‘Deer’s and Long John’s bows, I shall await the next blast with anticipation


Love and warm stuff
As always
