an annual repost _ for those who don't know, Balladeer owns a pest control business - but fortunately, has no treatment for toerags...Wishing each of you a healthy, happy and prosperous holiday season and a great New Year.. Twas the night before Christmas And all thru the house, Not a creature was stirring (You can bet not a mouse). Poor Balladeer, Was all snug in his bed, While visions of cockroaches Danced thru his head. Milk and cheap cookies, Were left by the hearth, A carton of Pepto Case Santa should barf. All of a sudden He heard such a clatter, He jumped outta bed To see what's the matter. Up on the rooftop, Santa was twitching, The reindeer were scratching, Shaking and itching. With Balladeer's knowledge, And without hesitation He knew of the answer, A FLEA INFESTATION!!!! He ran next store To his sailor friend LongJohn, Got his ex-girlfriends bathsoap, (Walmart Diazinon) He opened the top, Put it on Blitzen, On Prancer-On Dancer And finally Vixen. (You've heard of Vixen, that reindeer that's blonde, She once has this "thing" For that sailor called LongJohn). The reindeer felt better, It was nearly eleven, Santa kept itching, "Deer" dusted with "Sevin" Then Santa was off Yelled over his back, "Merry Christmas to all" (By Mistle Toe-rag) |

OK, big boy. Guess I have to retaliate with my Toe-carols... (Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!) Hark! Hear Toerag spout his verse! Fa la la la la la la la la Written words could not be worse Fa la la la la la la la la Watch him butcher grammar, too. He's a poet? No one knew!!! He's the King of Ballyhoo.. Fa la la la la la lalala. (I saw Momma Kissing Santa Claus) I saw Toerag on a date last night. Sally Brown could not be more distressed! She didn't see him peep At her boobies - little creep! He told her his demeanor Was gentle as a sheep! Then I saw Toerag try to kiss her neck Buckteeth made her cry out at his bite! Oh, what a sorry sight it was - Her neck wrapped up in gauze As Toerag blew another date last night!! (Silent Night) Silent Toe Quiet Toe Something we'll Never know. Lips that flap with the greatest of ease Words that kill like a deadly disease Mouth that never will die Toerag can make the girls cry. (We Three Kings of Orient Are) We three kings - 'deer, LongJohn and Toe Fight all day, as all of you know. Peals of laughter We are after So we go on with the show. oh.....oh... John's a sailor...he's all right Though the man is not too bright Toe's a demon - always schemin' Balladeer is the white night. We three kings - Toe, LongJohn and 'deer Found a home and we like it here. Hug and kiss us or you'll miss us Don't let us disappear.... |

Joy to the world The boys are here Let all of PIP rejoice! With wars of funny words They often are absurd But all of us enjoy As comedy's employed - Toerag and Deer are here - where's Long John's voice? |

Ha, this was a fun thread and brought smiles and also joy for Toe, Balladeer and Suthern showed up, juhuu ... LongJohn's ears must have caught the message. He may be on his way! Merry Christmas to all. Margherita |

There's some personal banter that I'll never get, but did it make me laugh? You bet! |
