Well folks, you may not know this but,
for just the briefest while
My good friend Balladeer gave tours
of the Hawaiian isles

His helicopter pilots all
adhered to his flight plan
Until one day they all just quit
right down to the last man

When asked by "Deer" just why they quit
they said "We've taken vows,
and joined a monastary here,
you must have heard by now."

"Your island tours were not for us,
of you we have grown tired,
we're now out of your flying plan
and right into the friars. "

Got me again!
It is good for the heart to be cheerful and happy.  If this is a reflection of your heart then you are in a good place.

Thanks for the smiles...

JL,
Thanks. I've never agreed that the "pun" is the lowest form of humor. It's my intention
to elevate this artform to its rightful status, lol.
