A writing contest was announced, first prize a gilded pen The finest poets here at PIP did one and all attend You see this was no common pen as rumors of it spread that it was truly magical, or so those rumors said One poet here did earn that pen those many years ago but chose to stay anonymous so we'll just call him "Joe" Well, Joe got famous sure enough, those rumors had been true When fire broke out at Joes' one night he knew just what to do Forsaking all his other stuff Joe grabbed his pen and fled Though some may think that rather strange, it's like they've always said Unfortunate as Joe had been that all his stuff got burned No doubt you've heard " A pen he saved is still a pen he earned". |

Sheli, Thank you, it's very gratifying to spread a little humor around, and I still love that tag line. Doc ThatOneGuy, Thanks, I'm glad you liked. Welcome aboard. Doc |

Boo! Hiss! Haha! Had to do that because of that last line. Ouch. I would have loved to have participated in the contest if only to say I'd been there with the best. This was a good'n. ~ Man who wants pretty nurse, must be patient. ~ |

Doc, I don't know if you deserve such a pen or belong IN the pen!!  I KNEW we were brothers from another mother! Everything I can attribute any wit to in my life originated with either Rocky and Bulwinkle or Alfred E Neumann! We graduated from the same school! |

Dark, Thanks for droppin' by. Doc Balladeer, Yep, good ol' Cartoon "U", an' they said too much television wasn't good for ya, and comic books would rot your mind. Huh, shows you what they knew huh bro ? Doc Alison Give me a minute here, I'm still trying to come to grips with the fact that "Deer" and I may be related. Ok, Lol, thanks.
