                                It isn't fun to sit quietly by,
                               While tears are pouring from my eyes,
                               Thinking of my friends in the fray....
                               (Somehow seems to make my day.)

                               Balladeer, with his great style,
                               As usual makes the ladies smile.
                               And suthern, too, I might add,
                               Seems to be somehow glad.

                               Poor ol' Toe, with face so long,
                               Has been rebuked for his wrongs.
                               Regardless, though, Toe's still game...
                               (psst, Toe.  'Deer says you're in 1st Grade).

                               These two poets in their war,
                               Make us sad like ne'er before.
                               Toe with his off color wit,
                               'Deer with his response to it.

                               We want you two to stop this war,
                               We don't want you fighting anymore.
                               (psst, 'Deer. Toe says you will get yours.)
                               (psst, Toe. 'Deer says you write real poor).

                               Blest are the peacemakers, I've been told,
                               That's why 'Deer should make peace with Toe.
                               And, Toe, my friend, you should too
                               Make peace with 'Deer as I would do.

                               Now come on boys, please shake hands.
                               Show us you'll give peace a chance.
                               (psst, Toe.  'Deer said you write real bad.)
                               (psst, 'Deer. Toe says he'll kick your a**.)

                               Please heed my call to end this feud,
                               We in Passions love both of you.
                               (psst, Toe.  'Deer says he'll run you off.)
                               (psst, 'Deer.  Toe says you're always soft.)

                               Heed this plea from old Long John,
                               We fear for you if you go on.
                               (psst, 'Deer.  Toe says you love young sheep.)
                               (psst, Toe.  'Deer says you're lil Beau Peep.)

I hope this plea to both of you does not fall on deaf ears, as I'm sure all of us in Passions shed buckets of tears when the "fighting" starts.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Gosh LngJhn, I had such hopes when I opened this...even had my kleenex at ready, but instead I apologized to my cat.

ROFLMAO @ Toerag's and Martie's replies...

Sailor, I'd say they had your number... even if it is infinitesimal. LOL

Agitator, aggravator
Acting innocent
Long John, it's not hard to see
Where your time is spent!
Barroom brawls, dark pool halls
Among a nasty crowd
(Then there's Hooters afternoons
With treats quite well-endowed *G*)
You're quite hot with these potshots
A simple ray of cheer...
You're so bad but I am glad
To see you again here!

LOL....this reminds me of three brothers...
all conspiring against each other...and when
the fighting starts...usually one of them
will be there with a sheepish grin...and
the look in their eyes of "Who, me?"...
Which Long John could that be....????

And the United Nations of Poetry will send in the peacekeeping forces....to Keep Toerag from occupying Balladeer's territory...

(giggles in delight) I believe if these two can end their war and make a peace agreement that any war in the world can end as well! (smiles) This is soooooo cute, sweet friend, hopefully progress can begin to be made, hehehehe, we all love you so much, this is wonderful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet LongJohn, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shie upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
