Toerag had spent the night in bars and he was heading back.
He saw ole LongJohn in the alley, carryin' a sack.
"Hey, LongJohn! What you got there, boy?" said Toerag, with a smile.
"Got some chickens", John said. "Gonna eat them in awhile."

"Hey, LongJohn!", Toe said, with a grin. "Let's have a little fun."
"I guess how many's in the sack, you got to give me one."
LongJohn gave a little laugh. His face was filled with glee.
"You guess right, you can have them both."
and Toerag screamed out "THREE!!"

What a wonderful poem!......it gave me a magnificent moment of grand ‘comic relief’! [superb ‘graphics’ too!]...In 40 yrs.,
I have yet to succeed in writing a truly humorous poem....(that's like my ‘holy grail’!)....it seems so ‘natural and easy’
for this fine ‘poetic voice’!....boy, am I impressed!

Aint no doubt about it
Old Balladeer has wit
Makin' fun of Toerag's math
And bags of chicken (uh, poop)

But you'll see forthcoming
That one poem will equal two
Cuz my friend old Balladeer,
I'll write one just for you.

If it weren't that this forum is moderated
I'd add a line that's X-rated
But it would surely be pulled in
to the forum we playfully call DM !

Oh no ... here the fun comes !!!

ToeMan, Balladeer ... get it going ... someone will Fed-X it to LongJohn~

Balladeer ... this IS priceless~

miscellanea...my pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it

passing shadows..glad your dog got a kick out of it!!

Sunshine...drag LongJohnback? That's a tall order. The man is sailing some unknown seas, as opposed to Toerag, who is only generally "at sea". I'll try  

Nightshade...your guffaws are always welcome!

secondhanddreampoet...comedy just comes natural to me whenever I think of Toerag! Thank you for your kind words...

Toerag.....forthcoming? That's a three-syllable word! Congradulations, boy!! Your vocabulary, along with your waistline, is growing

'loper....I'm game!

Margie...I know what you mean. There IS an X in Toerag but we have to play nice, right? Thanks for being there.

Oh boy, it's been way too long Deer since I could enjoy your witty poetry.

Love it when you are in a teasing mood.

Longjohn said "You're off by one"
As he headed for the door
Toerag begged for one more chance
"I meant to holler Four!"

With my apologies to Balladeer and Toerag
Take care and Have fun. Steve

Here's a cheer i made up for the Broncos cheerleaders but i don't know where to submit it....

Kidding ok alright kidding!!!

Here it is.....


Carmen SanDiego; What snow?
Lake Tahoe
She's the star of the show
Las Vegas smoke screen
wise up to the light
No way Mike
your in for a fight
Colorado to Nevada
For the love of WHO???
From Oklahoma City to seattle
We got blues clues!!!

Somebody tell Mike not ot shoot me for this unless it is with a photographic lens!!!
