LongJohn and two buddies, drinking beer, Were talking so loud I could easily hear About all the fanciful stories they told And how they complained about their getting old. The first guy said, "Well, the best wish for me Would be able to take a good, healthy pee. But a small, little dribble is all I can get Which leaves my pajamas completely wet! Friend Joe said, "When I wake, I feel quite foul. I can't get a movement out of my bowel! I've tried laxatives and ointments...instead, I just go on back, disappointed, to bed." LongJohn said, "Poor fellas! I need no such tricks. I can pee and my bowel moves each morning at six." "So what would you wish for...," said Joe "with such heaven?" "I wish," said LongJohn, "I could wake before seven!" |

Am sitting here laughing. I have heard this in a joke before, but in your poetry it is even funnier ------------------ "In the depths of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer" ~Albert Camus |

Score One for the lady of peace. Quite funny... I've heard the joke before but you did great in the retelling. I've never known a dove to have talons. |

Long John, I think you should accept her dove of peace and move on. So you've been beaten up by a girl..so what? It happens to us men all the time. Come back to your buddies. Toe and I await with open arms (and little closed fisties at the ends). |

This just cracks me up because the poems that I have read of WhtDove's were so very different from this one. She nailed Long John but good! A |
