Stamped or 1st class-insert here Per our mailman-Balladeer Mistakes are made, and quite alot, Dropping letters in mail slots When paying bills on time with tears You still may find they're in 'arrears'  ___________________________________________________ How 'bout them 'pome' makers, Ain't they fine? Puttin' down words, Makin' them rhyme. Them dadburn poet types, Showin' they skill, Some use-a keyboard Others use a quill Talkin' bout love, Talkin' bout sorrow Writin' it now, Readin' it tomorrow. Them ever-lovin' poet writers, Ain't the neat? Writin' them words With rhythm and beat. Wanna write a ditty? If ya may emote it Do it like I did Hauled off and wrote. Think about a subject If ya find some muse, Like I tried on this one Did it just for 'youse' |

I am quite sure there is nothing more valuable than a good sense of humor, Toe. Ida |

The part of this poem that I enjoyed the most was the narrator explaining what them dadburn poet types do! One of the difficulties when writing a poem of this sort is ensuring that a character speaks `correctly` because if he uses words that don`t suit him he will lose credibility with the reader. ---- Your character was real for me. |
