Bally's love for animals,
Is more than just a fetish,
When you talk about it,
His face turns very reddish.

When he was but a young lad,
At age of twenty two,
He had dreams most every night,
To work at Tampa zoo.

Tigers, lions, snakes or ants,
He loved them all the same,
His favorite was an elephant,
Matilda was her name.

Once before the zoo
Had opened for the day,
Bally bathed Matilda,
In his usual way.

He took all of his clothes off,
Was in his "birthday" suit
Matilda looked perplexed at him
Thought he looked very cute.

Balladeer was humming,
And soon began to sing,
Matilda asked Balladeer;
"Can you breathe through that "thing?"

Balladeer responded,
"It doesn't work that great,
In fact it has no use at all,
Since Toerag stole my ape."

Is this the best of three? Don't look behind you but I'm betting you're being followed by a 'deer! Good job.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Matilda smiled at me and said,
"My gosh, who woulda thunk
A human man could be so blessed
With such a gorgeous trunk!?"

They threw away their Tarzan books
Cause he could not come near
The NEW king of the jungle now..
Your good friend Balladeer!

Check out my poem again, lugnut. I made a small addition

Matilda's being kind, yanno
In telling Deer he's cute.
This repartee makes me believe
Y'all belong in the 'stute!!!

But I'm sure enjoying. *S*
