'Twas Piptalk and the forum posts
did bluff and bluster all the rage,
as Pipsters penned their Pip boasts
by the tome and by the page.

Beware the Balladeer my son
the poems he writes are hard to match,
Beware the Toerag bird and shun
the volumous Long Johns' scratch!

He took his mortal pen in hand,
long time the forum foe he sought,
so rested he by the Piptalk tree
and penned a while in thought.

And, as in Pipish thought he stood
The Balladeer, with words of flame
came rhyming through the forum hood
and spewed more of the same!

Round one, round two, I challange you,
flew mortal pen of effjayel,
who thought it won and left it done
though time alone will tell.

And, has thou slain the Balladeer?
come to the forums my British boy!
A witless fray, Pip Pip hooray
the Moose laughed in his joy !

'Twas Piptalk and the forum posts
did bluff and bluster all the rage
as Pipsters penned their Pip boasts
by the tome and by the page.

Jesus Kleist, there is no answer to that, way too good for me. Gibberish is my forte not jabberwocky..

Misteria,
Thank you, I hope so , I sure had fun writing it.

Simon,
How nice of you to say, but don't you mean
"mome raths"?

The Deer does not get slain easily, although YOU do manage to slay me occasionally with your sharp wit!

Balladeer,
Thank you sir, the opperative word here would be "occasionally". Lol.
Doc

Toerag,
My thanks to you also with respect.
Doc

Alison,
Thanks, but was not my intent to de-throne
anyone. I am merely an observer.
Doc

Ida,
Thank you, I have very few fans as I don't reply to very many peoples posts. I'm glad you enjoyed.
Doc

Hoot,
Dang! Been a long time gal! My fault, I know, what can I say? Great to hear from you
have a happy Easter!
Doc

Simon,
Lol, no problem, I certainly don't stand on ceremony, even when it might be appropriate.
Doc
