Samson had Delilah Who betrayed him with her spiel. Road Runner had Coyote out To have him for a meal. Holmes had Moriarty As his ever-present foe. Batman had the Joker... Here at Passions - we've got Toe. Mighty oaks have dry-rot, Orchids get a fungus. That pales by comparison To what we have among us. Heads of hair have bald spots We comb so it doesn't show. Titanic had the iceberg.... Here at Passions - we've got Toe. Ain't it strange how Mother Nature Loves to mix and match? Throw a fly in every ointment Just to see us scratch? Oceans have pollution. Dogs and cats come down with fleas. What we have is so much worse Than any one of these... Tweety had that "puddy tat" To fill his life with woe Riding Hood had big, bad wolf.. At Passions - we've got Toe!!  |

Lol! I love this poem. Even though I dont know Toerag as much as the lot of you, it made me laugh none the less. Lucidity is the answer to all problems |

LOL, this is excellent, watch out and duck at his next throw it will probably be a sweaty soiled smelly swamp sock (can you say that 3 times fast) fresh from his toes...LOL [This message has been edited by Lost Dreamer (edited 03-28-2000).] |

Balladeer~ LOL ! Oh, sure we've got the TOE, that dreaded fool of late, but we just call on Balladeer to EXTERMINATE ! I fear that there may be an epidemic outbreak I mean for goodness sake ... how many TOES can you take ? *You guys send us into gales of laughter ! Keep it going.

And is there even one among us ('Cept perhaps that Balladeer *G*) Who isn't grateful to proclaim That we have Toe at Passions here???!!! Growing up, I was quite perfect (Or so I thought, heaven knows! *G*) But now I know how sadly lacking I was having only ten toes! Mr. Toerag is the kindest Gentleman you'll ever meet Just one Toe makes this heart flutter Forget those ten upon my feet! LOL Thanks for the grins, Balladeer... now if you could only persuade your ever present foe to be ever present? Please? *G* |

Sir Balladeer - "the way to go" Your verse just can't be beat.. But I do fear that you should know Toerag won't have de-feet...   |

It's not that Toe's a bad guy, Just think what you would do, If you had to spend your life, Inside a smelly shoe. No wonder when he gets out here, He has to raise a rukus, And I can't write the closing line, Or else it would be censored... Nice shot deer... |

It's Balladeer on never fear And Toerag on a bottle of beer. Their in the stretch neck and damn. To win the race of, flimflam. My money is on neither one. I'd rather just enjoy the fun. One for Balladeer. |

Chuckles and thanks to you all Southern girl, I can answer that question easy. NOBODY here is unhappy that we have the Toe-man, old Balladeer included. Hey, Toe! You see that? I made nice. You wouldn't take revenge on a man that said nice things about you, would ya? I mean, to forgive is devine, yanno??? Southern girl....I'd love to have him ever-present but he's smart enough to know that a moving target is much harder to hit  [This message has been edited by Balladeer (edited 03-28-2000).] |

Every foot should have its big Toe To keep the balance oh just so Cause if that big Toe were not there We'd be falling down everywhere So be thankful for our big Toe Whom with out there would be no show No balance for Balladeer's wit No one to play the true misfit. Thanks for being there Toe! |

Every family has a black sheep We've got two, I fear Who write in sparring verses We've got Toe and Balladeer Every barrel has bad apples We've got two I know Who poke each other's soft spots We've got Balladeer and Toe Every forum has some comics Ours were clowns before they knew us They add some color to this place We've got Martin and Lewis Liz |

Yeah yeah and every sock has at least one hole otherwise you'd never get your foot in it so I should ask about this anonymous rag and what's it for anyway. I'm sure everyone would like to hear the yarn. |
