Balladeer had been married to his wife for forty years. When first married he had put a secret box beneath the bed. "In order for our marriage to be built on trust and love. You must promise never to look inside this box" he said. In all the 40 years of their marital bliss and love. Mrs. Deer had never touched it or peeked inside the lid. Until the evening of their fortieth wedded year, curiosity got her, and she just had to see what hid. She looked inside the shoe box that was hid beneath the bed. She found $870 dollars and three empty cans of beer. That night as they got ready for the party with their friends she turned to him and said "I have a question for you ‘Deer" I must admit that after all our years of wedded bliss I have to know why you have those things in the box beneath the bed. I peeked, but I don’t understand the cans inside the box, the one that you’ve been hiding since the day that we were wed. At first Balladeer got flustered and blushed with disbelief then calmly said to her "an explanation you deserve" in the years we’ve been married every time I was unfaithful I put a beer can in the box…She was stunned by what she heard. She listened to the story and confession that he made At first this news was shocking and it made Mrs. Deer so sad. They had been married 40 years and happy most of them so after just a bit of thought she guessed 3 times wasn’t bad. A little while later curiosity was raised again, thought about the money in the box and had to ask again. ‘Deer I understand the beer cans, but what’s the money for well said ‘Deer "when the box got full I had to cash them in." |

Balladeer's Prayer; Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my sheep to keep, If I should die before I wake, I pray to God my sheep don't make, Love with LongJohn or Andrew Scott, Nor Dreamevil, cuz who knows what, Will happen with those innocent lambs, Cuz those guys are one night stands, I've strived for years for virgin wool, And those guys only will, Get their jollies one by one, Looking only for some wooly fun, So listen Lord to my prayers Keep Andrew and that weird sailor, From my herd I beg you please, They may pass on some strange disease. |

Hey, Lucie! You're giving away all my secrets. I bought a new car with the aluminum recycling cash that she didn't know nothing about. No, Toe, this is my prayer: Lord, before to sleep I go Don't ever let me be a Toe. Please don't make my hair fall out Or make my gut look like the gout. Lord, no blackheads on my face Or ears that leave me in disgrace. Please don't take away from me Ability to write poetry. Please don't attach a barnacle Like he has with his Suthern belle. Please don't disgrace me with his bod That makes Quasimoto look like God. When I have needs to plant my root Don't make it in a piece of fruit. That's all I ask. Please make it so Dear Lord, don't let me be a Toe. |

Lucie, The way I heard the story was when her husband asked her what she would like for a present she would always say a gold boyscout knife. When she had quite a few he asked her why all the gold boyscout knives? She said it was for her old age. And he said I don't understand? And she said do you know what a boyscout would do for a gold boyscout knife? |

If I keep reading all these I'm gonna have to commit myself, I think I'm losing my grip on reality. Please keep me rolling, I've never felt better. |
