Just A Little Sprout ~*Marge Tindal*~ When Brussel was a little sprout he beat upon his chest " When I am all fully grown I will be the best ! " He hurried through life's garden and caught the Jolly Green Giant's eye the potential in this sprout's appeal was appealing to this guy " Ho ! Ho ! Ho ! ", said the giant of a man, " How'd you like to be an advertising legend and come to work for me ?" Well, Brussel was fairly honored and agreed so merrily He grew to star-studded fame and became a symbol of quality So the next time you see that Brussel you can't do without Just remember he started his claim to fame as just a little sprout ! *MarkB~ This one's for you ! I know how you love brussel sprouts and spam ! *wink* ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Oh my dear sweet lady of the range......you knew the title if not the poet would draw me to read and I am so very glad that I didn't sign off yet. Yes, I do love those wonderous little green gems of loving taste and I thank you from the bottom of my heart and my stomach for this one. Now they say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but most assuredly, the way to a cowboy's heart is to pen a poetic beauty filled with those little leafy teasings that come wrap so tight and are filled with wonderfully unique flavoring that only they can hold. Going in my library for sure so that I will never go hungry again for them or for you. Big "Jolly Green" hugs my sweet friend for this one. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

Marge, another one of your fantastic fun little metaphors me thinks, you've done a great job, I can't help but smile at the thought of that little sprout . All I can say is that if he runs that fast, he better be careful that he doesn't trip and bruise, that would end his life fast . Loved it, you've used your talent well . Thanx . L.of.L. Tom . Don't try, do or do not, there is no try . - Master Yoda - |

Marge- LOL...this is too cute...  I knew immediately that this had to be for our cowboy friend, and sure enough it is... I've never known anyone else who has the love and dedication for these little sprouts that Mark does..lol. This is just perfect for him.. hugs, ~vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes |

Marge~ You are truly talented my friend. This is hilarious!! I loved it. You never cease to amaze me with your writing. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Hey, Margie girl, I beg your pardon But who can write about a garden And some little brussel sprout No one can seem to do without That tastes so good next to a ham And, not to mention hunks of spam And make the whole thing sound sincere? Only you can, MArgie dear!!!! FLORIDA: Home of electile dysfunction! |

Marge girl, this is terrific, I giggled insanely throughout this, the MBOOPAS were just about to call the Psych doc on call when I showed them and then they all started laughing too. So missy you are responsible for stopping the office for close on 30 mins, but it's okay Marge I won't tell them it was you. I loved this one I really did. Daphy says that she loves sprouts too, but she may be exagerating a little.  Great work love, really great work. Take care Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
