Where in the world is Balladeer Last time I looked he was not here He was a couple weeks ago But where he's gone I do not know A "Waldo " of the written word I know this may sound quite absurd But at " Community " he does not show His presence more than M. Marceau There's no question he's quite sage His name they post on every page It's on the bottom in plain sight Which way'd he go to left or right? Credit given where it's due Jim even named a ship for you So we implore you Balladeer Won't you please come back and steer? Another thought for what it's worth If he's no longer on this Earth Let's man that craft out to the stars To find this Balladeer of ours Sometimes nonsense isn't . |

I know that Toerag really wishes I were sleeping with the fishes Or rotting in some old cellblock With doors that have a triple lock But, fact is, I'm in pest control You all know that...and it's my goal To spray and lift up every rug Until I've found the Y2K bug. I've heard all year it was around But it must want not to be found 'Cause, though I search both day and night I haven't even got a bite! I gave up all my rhyming ways And, Like a rat caught in a maze, I've searched through all Ft. Lauderdale But I can't even find its trail. So now it's time to quit the search. I'll get back up upon that perch And sing a verse or villanelle. That Y2K can go to hell!! Thanks for missing me. |

Your poem seems to have done the trick Doc. Balladeer I spent New Years Eve sitting around waiting to catch that critter trying to get on to the puters at work. It didn't show up over here either!  Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool: But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet. |

I had no doubt That he was about Our good old Sir Balladeer Killing little bugs And Y2K thugs Keeping us save for another year But now that they're dead He can start filling his head With more wondrous poetic verse Hunting the big game A Toerag by name The rhyming man's lyrical curse |
