Balladeer was on hard times His luck had fallen through Cash was short The fridge was bare The rent was coming due He pawned his car The stereo The TV and his chair He'd hocked his socks His golf clubs And he even pawned his hair Desperate to make a buck He thought he'd try his hand At what some say Is the oldest trade Even though it's banned He walked into the local pub And eyed a lonesome lass Pulled a stool up next to her And ordered up a glass He told her for a c-note He'd make all her dreams come true Fulfill all her fantasies There was nothing he wouldn't do She looked at him, Asked 'anything? Anything at all?' He replied, 'yes anything, No order is too tall." She pulled out five twenties, As she fiddled with her blouse, Placing them into his palm, She said, "Oh -- please clean my house!!" (sorry deer -- you wouldn't think I loved ya no more if I didn't join the fray) Hate is a dead thing. Who of you would be a tomb? -Kahlil Gibran |

Way to go, Hawk - You've got 'Deer on the ropes now - he's cowering in a corner with his keyboard - still smarting from the whip marks he's already received, no doubt. heh heh - Incidently - Good story, and true, too! |

What's the old saying? What goes around comes around? Look out, I hear the ol Deer has a thing or two up his sleeves for no one is as clever as he. Great time I spent laughing, very well done!!! Hawke, looks as though you are rather naughty as well. HAHA |

Reb this was good. It's a good thing I read at home, otherwise workmates would wonder why I'm rolling around the floor holding my sides and gasping for breath. Hilarious. Btw Deer I have 5c's busy lifestyle and a smallish house. When can you fit me in?  Kethry.
