A Minstrel's song came over the hill and set upon my ear With music soft, the words aroused upon my cheek a tear The story he was telling, was of beauty never heard Saw up above in blue sky high, the praying of a bird The Minstrel sang his song so loud for everyone to hear His voice was of a timbre low that made me cry, I fear I'll tell you, as his words would flow in beautiful cadence That words he choosed to being used, actually made sense I climbed the hill and walked straight down to where the sound came from And there they were, a group of men, don't know from where they'd come One was tall, good looking too, his name was LongJohnAg The second man seemed really cute, big toe wrapped in a rag Then there was the man who sang, they called him Balladeer I walked right up, was smiling big and said: How cosy here They had some fire going on, cooked soup in an old pot Sit down, said Toe, and have a bite, it is delicious hot I asked them why they gathered here outside and far from home Ahh, said LongJohn, we'll tell you dear, but could I lend your comb I have been here a few days now, my hair is a real mess We thought we packed a comb you see, but we forgot I guess Balladeer (with shining eyes) began to sing again Words came out so smoothly and I thought, I love this man Actually I loved all three, because they were so nice While Balladeer sang ballads, we three were playing dice Well, said Toe, it all comes down to friendship here you see We're good friends and we can show our feelings true and free Not always we are able to, due to expectations Of members at a website blue, we've build some reputations One day I wrote a poem, said Deer, and nagged a bit LongJohn Then Toe came in and he nagged me and so't kept going on People laughed and wrote to us and we didn't dare to stop Because our writings ended there, way high at the top But..dear lady, said LongJohn, we actually love each other Toe and also Balladeer, I look upon as a brother And that is why we come out here, far from pages blue To be the friends we always were and show our feelings true I felt some tears come up my eyes by hearing this confession Finally I said goodbye and left them at their session I promised not to tell a soul, whenever I found those pages blue But I think they won't really mind, because like me, you love them too Like scattered leaves...my words will flow [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (11-30-2002 08:35 PM).] |

How true, how true, these Three-of-Blue Toe, LongJohn, and Balladeer, 'tis true... they wend a smile along their way and Passions' place is where they play. |

I love all FOUR of you!~~~ At times I'll be laughing At times I'll do the jig At times I'll be sighing At times I'll flip my wig!

For some strange reason that made me cry. It was so sad. Is it just me, or was that sad? Never be normal! |

Aw, Titia, this is really a sweet poem. Thank you! Yes, the three of us spend a lot of time on the road....manly because we're being chased out of town for one reason or another!  I love to joke around with those two. It's rare to find the chemistry with others where one can joke or poke fun without the fear of sarcasm or bad feelings coming up. We can do that because we are all the best of friends, plus the fact that, when I am linked with those two, I look like a genius!!  Thank you, dutchie. We are all glad that others also enjoy our verbal verbiage...those guys really pick on me, don't they????  |
