Friday night at Tampa's villa, just before we went to bed
Deer tried out his sofa mattress, but that made him very sad
'There is a bar' he kept repeating 'and it's sticking in my back
No, I can't sleep on that sofa even if my name is Mack'

The solution we found quickly, in a blow up mattress there
But that was the tricky part see, getting in this thing some air
Marsha yelled 'I have a dryer, wich will blow cold air in quick'
So we did and you can see here, it gave Balladeer a kick

But he cheered a bit too early, thinking he could sleep that night
When he sat to rise up high, all the springs gave up their fight
And we saw this poor man falling, hit the floor with bottom hard
Yes of course I took some pictures, catching Balladeer off guard

Finally we got some sleep though, but I think Deer's feet went cold
For this mattress was too short see, all his body't couldn't hold
Early morning I went swimming, passing Deer to get my suit
Then I heard his little snoring and I thought oh dear how cute

So I truly can imagine that they went back home next night
Ladies sitting in the back and Seymour as his touring guide
Now I hope you have a clue of all the laughs we had up there
I will miss those Poets dearly, but I'm glad this I could share

Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

Oh my!!!! I'm surprised Michael slept at all and to think you actually heard him snoring. I'll bet his back is still bothering him.

Titia thank you for continuing to provide us with your stories and photos of the gathering. I am thoroughly enjoying them.

Hugs, Marti

Um... I'm nearly speechless!
But here's my first thought

Oh Deer - Where can the mattress be
Deer, Deer - Where can the mattress be
Oh Deer - Where can the mattess be
Michael's too long to sleep there...

I'm sitting here all by myself laughing so loud the neighbors will be calling me disorderly soon..

Is nothing sacred anymore?
You're telling people that I snore!?
Well, did you notice at the time
That all my snores came out in rhyme?

I'm glad we had the chance to meet
And glad that you adored me.
I must confess that on this trip
You people really floored me!!

(I'm gonna get you, Titia

HaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!!!!!

Thanks for posting those pics, Titia...
I didn't see this happen but I certainly HEARD it loud and clear.
After Isabelle sent us off to bed because we were sitting in their bedroom, David and I tried to sleep through all of the laughter and shouting... now, we can finally SEE what happened!
I'm so glad that he snores in rhyme...
I wonder if he has his snores memorized also
