Balladeer works very hard, and he spends most evenings out, Bowling with his buddies, or playing volleyball, no doubt. One evening his spouse decided that she'd give him a special night, And took ‘Balladeer out on the town to see a strip club live. "Hey, ‘Deer! How are you tonight?" said the bouncer at the door, His wife, surprised, asked her husband if he'd been there before. "No, my sweet, he's just a guy on the bowling team I'm on," Said ‘Deer with an injured look, as though he'd been set upon. They found seats and watched the show until the waitress neared, "Ohhh, it's nice to see you again, you devil, Balladeer. A Southern Comfort and Lemonade? And, my, you're looking hot!" His wife's eyes widened in surprise, "You must come in here a lot!" "Oh no, she's on my volleyball team," our Balladeer nervously laughed. Then a stripper walked up to them, "The usual dance on your lap?". His wife, fuming, collected her things and stormed out to the street,. Balladeer saw her getting into a cab, so he jumped into the passenger seat. His wife looked at him, seething with fury, and ripped poor ‘Deer apart, While the cabbie looked on in surprise, not knowing whether to start. Finally, when ‘Deer calmed her down and made her see the light, The cabby leaned over and said to ‘Deer, "You picked a wild one tonight!" heh heh - yer such an "athlete" 'Deer *smurkle* [This message has been edited by LngJhnAg (edited 08-28-2000).] |

Yanno, LongJohn, I could have forgiven everything you said in this poem but putting in a "smurkle" at the end....well, that's unforgivable. "Vengeance is mine!" sayeth the 'deer. This was a great one, yah big bum  |

So this is about the REAL man that says I need to say those three little words to my baby. I knew there was a reason that he has had to say them so much. LJA-thanks for showing me the real Balladeer...or have you shown me the real you in a confession of jest. hmmmm...me thinks I will wait to see the deer's response. |
