Yikes - Time to get down to serious BusiNess here...

Let's do those BALLADS we've been talking about.  Who's interested? Maybe we can get our pal Balladeer to make a guest appearance... Ya think??

I promise to write one myself... Actually, I've been looking forward to this one, guys..

I'd like to try this too, although I don't have much experience with ballads!
Now I wonder if I have this right, ballads are like a story?  About seven syllables to each line and rhyming on the second?
