One day I hired Long John, toe and dear
To build four walls for me
When I got back, all I saw was one done quite near
And nothing of the other three
They only had one wall done
I said you had the lumber and nails a ton
And when I asked them to confide
They yelled those nail heads are just one side
They called at me in one large bawl
Those nails are all for just one wall.

Watch it...Watch it! That sounds like something I would do. But I might need duct tape to finish the job.

Look out Sy.  These three may not have finished the walls.  But they certainly know how to build a case for revenge.

believe in what your heart feels...

Go get 'em!

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

Here lies Sy
One hell of a guy
What happened isn't clear
Some people say
It was the way
He spoke of Toe, LongJohn and Deer.

At any rate
He's gator bait
Bit off more than he could chew.
We'll give him hell
Like Isabel
He'll find that was a day to rue.

Sy! Et tu, Brutus? After all we've been through?? LOL! Welcome to purgatory, m'pal!

One thing Sy forgot to tell us
The nails that had the head on the wrong side?
Were for the wall on the other side....
