To the friends of Gareotemsti, I hope that you don't mind But here is some advice for you, just because I'm feeling kind Remember your friend Toerag is still quite young and free His adolescent humor is a giveaway you see I know you think Gare's grown up and just maybe he is But you must take a warning, his mind is in a tizz Take it from me a professional, I've seen the signs I know Although he likes to use big words his mind is sluggish, slow And though he's playing grown up, he isn't that at all He is just a frightened child, a boy who's feeling small And then to make a cover up as his anxiety grows He'll reach out so desperately and start snatching at your clothes. So you'd better care of him, keep him on a tightened leash Lest his fantasies become, the rift between your peace If you find his eyes glaze o'er, hang up the telephone For his mind's too little, … to be wandering off alone Tizz = high state of anxiety. As in a tizzy fit. "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

LOL! Love it, Kethry....just one mistake. "Mind" and "Toerag" don't belong in the same sentence...they are incompatible |

I wanna take care of him Whatever the name! *G* But badmouthing this sweet man... You should be ashamed! Kethry: You've been hanging around Long John and Balladeer entirely TOO long. *G* They've obviously corrupted your perception and eroded your ability to detect perfection. *G* (And dang it... when is he gonna start snatching at MY clothes! LOL) [This message has been edited by suthern (edited 10-03-2000).] |

heh - this is a terrific poem. I'm gonna bookmark it for the next Book! This is truly my day. Toerag, 'Deer, and Kethry, all in poetry. Big hugs, Kethry. Belle - Perfection? come come girl, are you daft? Toe can't even find his way in here. I guess we'd see more of him if he'd just ask for directions - lol. |

Oh my oh my, what's this I see? someone takin' shots at me. Now this isn't too unusual, It happens all the time, But ya should take a little hint my friend, Toerag can be unkind. Though my mind's not quite intact, It's roasted, uncouth and sick, But I can cut and slander and pun, Cuz I'm really quite a prick. I like your way of thinking, But things I like are weird, So be kind to poor old Toerag, Or you'll be on my list my dear!! |
