I'd Trade It All
By Larry Chadwick
For Toerag

If I could have a penny,
Per joke that he has told;
I wouldn’t have to work,
Until I grew so very old.

If I could have a nickel,
Per smile he has sewn;
Then I could retire,
And only write my poems.

If I could have a dime,
For every chuckle he inspired;
Then I wouldn’t care,
If my boss said, “You’re fired!”

If I could have a quarter,
For every time I read his work;
Then I could tell the manager,
That I think he is a jerk!

If I could have fifty cents,
Every time I saw his name;
I could quit my job,
Nothing would be the same.

If I could have a dollar,
Every time I said a prayer for Toe;
Then I’d be doing well,
I’d be rolling in the doe.

If I could have ten bucks,
Per response his writing gets;
I wouldn’t travel in my car,
I’d be flying in the jets.

If I could have twenty bucks,
For each corny thing he does;
I’d steal his name from him,
Then you could call me buzz.

But if I could have a hundred bucks,
For each friend that he has made;
I’d give it all to Toe,
‘Cause he is worth the trade!

If I could have a thousand bucks,
For everytime he's made me mad;
I'd be broke for sure,
And that would make him glad.

I love ya’ man!

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

Fantastic tribute to one hell of a funny guy..
A guy who not too many see the serious side of.
He has a heart of gold..and is loved by us all.

So true, my friend... he's a good 'un! *S*

Thank you for this! *S*

Ever since I have been here, toe has made me smile, even when I was so sad. He has responded to alot of my poems, especially the silly ones. (For a hormonal teenager I am) He makes me feal normal. Love you toe.
