He was meter man And she was meter maid. She could write meter like nobody can Sweeter than orange marmalade. He was a rhymster A nickle and dimester A duck in a penny arcade. He was a meter man...don't you know And she was a meter maid. She was a meter maid He was a meter man. She lines up verses in perfect parade, Darned if I know how she can. He's got the rhythm It always goes with him Constant as waves upon sand. She was a meter maid...yes, she was And he was a meter man. He was a meter man. She was a meter maid. Words came forth flowing from two rhyming pens, Soldiers in marching brigade. It was their fashion To post them at Passions They never will stop, I'm afraid For he is a meter man...through and through And she is a meter maid. |

Oh, Balladeer~ She will LOVE this ! LOL ! What fun 'they' must have had. Was there ever a lull in the conversation? I doubt it ... I'd have loved to have been there.  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

He met the maid whose meter mattered She made the man sans meter madder.... Posting poems in Passions Place Put metered poems in that space The meter man said when he met her All righty, you guys - Let's see some of that metered stuff!!...

Meter man met meter maid And bet her more meter he made But he couldn't beat her Her meter was neater So meter man meter maid paid But meter maid raved that his rhyme Was finer than winery wine His rhyme was a chime She kindly would dine And she'd write to the chime of his rhyme So he wrote his fine rhyme to her beat And she beat to the tap of his feet Together they chimed In rhythm and rhyme The most rhymic rhyme on the street Bowing to the king of meter Liz |

The Meter Man and the Meter Maid Showed off the stuff their rhymes are made At Sy's home one evening They really were reeling And put on a show of parade How lucky I was to be privileged to hear The wonderous words of our Liz and the great Balladeer |

Okay. Please listen to me. That hit VERY VERY close to home and i'm not just saying that. My eyes are wide open! because I used to have a girlfriend named Lizzy Santos, and your work seems to reflect on that very relationship i had with her. A super job. |
