Yesterday my 'puter had a labour day so today you get two poems for the price of one.

Balladeer went to Japan
on a pleasure cruise,
to see the sights, his greater plan
and maybe score some schmooze

One day he was so hungry
and tired of Japanese fare
advertised to his vision, he did see
a Japanese pizzaierre

Balladeer ordered up a feast
then he took a giant bite
his eyes they clouded, began to mist
he opened them in fright

Tears were rolling down his face
his breath came is short gasps
his face turned a shade of dark puce
hands to his throat he clasped

Then Balladeer began to sneeze
he sneezed again, Ah-choo
it left him weakened at the knees
his face was turning blue

He could not stop this sneezing
could not swallow air, so fast
like an asthmatic he was wheezing
he thought he breathed his last

Till finally, composure gained
he slumped within a chair
he looked aghast, his face was strained
for the sneezing, suffered there

The moral to this story
teaching for the Balladeer
when in a foreign country
with eating, take real care

Next time you order pizza, please
you make sure the cook is Tony
and if the pizza's Japanese
don't order pepper-oni. (pepper only)

Thanks Kathleen,
In case you think I'm being too hard on the lovely and talented Balladeer, you should know he inspired this when he criticised my eating habits.I'm also expecting that at some time he'll have something scathing to say about me.

I loved your response about my quote, I was thinking about changing it recently but couldn't come up with anything I liked better.
Be well

Wow Kethry, this was a very good and entertaining poem to read...I really enjoyed it and you have a nice sense of humor too. I bet that Balladeer learned his lesson huh?

Kethry, my sweet girl, I would NEVER say anything harsh about you!! How could you ever think such a thing???

Actually, I stopped eating Japanese food some time ago when they came out with that new Japanese cookbook...."50 Ways to Wok your Dog"...

liked the poem

Heck, I think this needs a BTTT [courtesy Sudhir][as BTTT still sounds like raspberries to me!]

Mark, glad I could add a little spice to your life.

Wil, Ouch, that would hurt. Glad the poem brought back memories.

Deer I KNOW you are as innocent as the day is long, didya notice how quickly the days are getting shorter

. I loved how you can wok your dog recipe 12.

Sunshine thanks, Let me see BTTT Bacon, tomato, tomale, trouble. Between the terrific times. Burp to the top. I think it IS a rasberry in disguise.

Be well
