Based on Jim Croce's "Operator (But That's Not the Way It Feels)" Moderator (oh) can you save us from this all? You see Toerag's poems are too old and overrated. He's living in a haze, In his best old Toerag ways A guy we've said we know well and have always baited. CHORUS: Isn't that the way they say it goes? But lets forget all that, And give us some peace if you can find it So we can all adjust in time and show We've overcome the blow, We've learned to read it well, I only wish these words could convince ourselves That he just isn't real But that's not the way it feels. Moderator (oh) could help us from this all? ‘Cause we can't find the rhyming on his last page There's something in our eyes You know it happens every time We think about his poems. He writes below average. Repeat Chorus ….no no no no that's not the way it feels Moderator, let's forget about this all There's no way we can ever make him better Thank you for your time, ‘Cause you've been so much more than kind And you'll delete him the next time Repeat Chorus Heh heh - ol' Toerag will be runnin' now [This message has been edited by LngJhnAg (edited 12-04-2000).] |

I can see who you are and even your Deer friend but I've always wondered who Toerag really is or should I say what he is. The name it's self leaves alot to the imagination. But it won't matter cause I think he's friends with the moderator, so no help is on the way. |

lil SEA girl - I know I have greatly maligned Toerag's artistic style - after all, if it weren't for Toe, we would have never learned about the "Random Words" form of poetry - heh heh Hi ya 2B - Ol' Toerag will respond with some vile writings bordering on the obtuse and obscene (notice how he likes the OB words?). This will only inspire him to write more, I know - but it was worth a shot. |

You asked for Trouble? Well, here she be! How dare you malign Toe's poetry? You misnamed this "poem" It's title should be Long John Suffers From Jealousy! If there's ever a thing Toe's poems lack Just blame it on Your moderator's ax! Let Jim Croce rest in peace and quit tryin' to run Toe off!!! LOL.

Hi ya, lil Belle - I knew you would come a runnin' and try to put some "reverse" spin on my most excellent characterization of that rascal Toe. Are you a Democrat? All your whining about injustice sounds hauntingly familiar - lol - Here's a hug. Charisma - Well, we do know one thing for sure - Toe's response will sink to an ignominious soliloquy of my hereditary virtues. Alas - *toes start tapping time* Moderator, can you help us with this all..... Here's a hug for you, too |

John, revenge is a dish best served cold how could you have been so bold you know he'll wait while you grow old worrying about just when he'll fold and comeback with riposte ker-blam just hope he's not joined by his mate who loves spam. Great write. I needed that. write on Kethry Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant - Thoreau |

Kethry, Kethry, Kethry *shaking my head in a woebegone way* Haven't you learned by now that Toe is all bark? Except for his beard, of course, which is more like Spanish Moss, but not nearly as clean. Toerag will not retaliate. I know him well. Nan - If there's anything else I can do to make your day start off right, you just let me know. OK? *high-libido wink* |

Let's objectively observe the obvious I'm obliged to object to obstinate observations of obscene or obnoxious objectives. (He don't do no harm!) Liz |

Well, that Toe always writes better poems at closing time I mean when it comes times to close down all the bars After 10 or 20 beers He thinks he writes like Balladeer Foolish little critter Poems are used for kitty litter But still he stays convinced that he's some kind of star!!! LongJohn! How can you pick on my dear friend Toerag like that??? (and so well, too!  ) |

Oh, I needed a good laugh this morning and this is hilarious, poor Toerag. Someone has to feel sorry for him  What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |
