Make me smile!!  Make me laugh!  Take my face and break it in half!  Make me scream in surprise. Put those tears of joy in my eyes! Let my woes and sorrows disappear from view... Make me smile! Make me laugh!  Please do.  Make me roar with guffaws! I'll respond with thunderous applause! Make me squeal with delight... Help me feel that things are all right. Make my belly hurt from doubling up in two... Make me smile! Make me laugh! Won't you?? I've had my share of potholes, frustrations and what-not holes... Life's given me the old one-two at times.  This simple wish I send out.... Dear poets, help a friend out and lift me up with your fantastic rhymes! Make me roll on the floor! Make me beg and grovel for more!  Give me will to survive show me it's great to be alive. Grant me pleasure from your words that never ends... Make me smile! Make me laugh! My friends!!!

Oh Geez, here you go making all these requests and I've got company coming and not time enough to figure out whatever it is that would make you smile! But I'll be back! {~,^} P.S....just posted something in prose, guaranteed to make you cry, just in case you get cross-wise and there's too much laughing going on.... yes, shameless plug... Have fun!< !signature--> Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Well gosh Balladeer I wish you'd have dropped in and read the poem I posted called "The Haircut" I think it might have made you smile but if you did'nt well we'll just have to try something else. Two religious preachers approached the front door of this house and rang the bell. A small boy opened the door a crack and looked out. One of the preahers asked the boy if his mother was home. The young boy whispered very low ...could hardly hear him..."yes she is." One of the men said. "can we speak to her?" The boy whispered, "no she's busy." "Well then is your father home?" The boy whispers, "Yes" "Can we speak to him?" Boy says, "no he's busy." "Well is there anyone else here we could speak to?" queried one man. "there's a policeman here." the boy replied. "can we speak to him?" Boy whispers, "no he's busy." Gettin a bit frustrated one man asks again, "is there anyone else here we could speak to?" Boy whispers, "yes there's a fireman." "Can we speak to him?" Boy whispers, "no he's busy." The preacher just beside himself says, "what on earth are all these people busy doing?" Boy whispers....."They're lookin for me." |

deer, this reminded me of one of mine... let loose that smile don't worry, I'll catch it, but if you don't let go I'll tickle you and snatch it and if I can't get it by the bottom of your feet or your ribs or tummy then I'll yank you from your seat I will take you in my arms put the mistletoe above you kiss you smack-dab on your hidden smile and tell you that I love you and if that doesn't work if that still ain't right I'll rip your clothes off and start a pillow fight and we'll make love hard at first and then slow it to a creep and satisfied, you'll drift off I know you smile in your sleep  ) |

There once was a poet from the sunshine state... cook him spam...hed clean his plate tell him ya had bugs ...he'd be on his way ask him to play a round of golf...would make his day He could pen us a verse of comedy or write a sonnet that would enchant me he can make us laugh with his rhyme make us sigh with a love poem sublime now all he asks if for a simple smile and to laugh with glee for a little while I sure dont think thats too much to ask that shouldnt be such a difficult task we're all poets...we can write him a verse to help him break this blues curse... make him happy as a little clam write him a poem about kisses of spam |

what would it take to put smiles on your face? a huge wallet fat full of cash? or would you prefer - a kittycat mewing, or reading you some Ogden Nash? what kind of joking do you want to hear? a riddle? or some sort of pun? purrrhaps 'twould be better to bypass the gags - and simply move on to the fun! this feline can dart in between all your words and come up with some silly one-liner, or string you a thread on a ball of some twine, and meet you to eat at the diner! a CATastrophe, 'deer, it would be if you frowned, and this kitten would like to assist you. put a smile on your face? is that what you'd like? well, how could this kitty resist you? i know! i will send you a small book to read while you're sitting there under a tree -- and hopefully you'll have a smile on your face as you're reading and thinking of me or we could just listen to some meeeeewwwwsic? |

There once was a fellow named 'Deer, Who requested some light-hearted cheer, To his rescue we came, Calling out his sweet name, So 'deer Michael, lean close, lend an ear. *** (adapted to rhyme just for you, from a joke I heard today) A gentleman was walking Down the street and stopped to view, Two workers near the sidewalk, So methodic were these two. One man would dig a lovely hole, Then move ahead in line, The other followed right behind, And filled it every time. They carried on like this a while, From one hole to the next, Once dug, the other filled the hole, The passerby perplexed ... He watched another moment, Then he asked the one work man, Why do you dig so hard like this, I just don't get this plan! The worker paused, and looked at him, It's simple, can't you see? The other worker called in sick ... That guy who plants the trees. *** And just so ya know ... have I told you lately how wonderful you are? Many, many hugs and smiles to you my friend! Best wishes and cheer for happier days ahead, /Kit [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 11-19-2000).] |

A duel of wits I would never win But just maybe I can get a grin The laughter sometimes gets a little thin But it is always easy to get a grin. I think your poem was great |

I'll hold you down and tickle you until you beg for mercy laughing in hysterics you'll beg to be set free. Then we'll wrestle on the floor until we're not laughing anymore. Oops. Slipped into another emoticon! Corinne |

"There once was an old man named Zepplin who was used as a top secret weapon it seems that his pants had a smell that caused tears in the eyes to well it seems he can pass through a town and make a whole city fall down they're planning to build him a cannon to captipult him with pants a fannin' so hope you are not where he's landin'" -Tier (written by a 9yr old) *chuckles* |

Hi ya 'deer!...It's me, one of them potholes! Oh poor old frowning Balladeer, Take a look in your old mirror, Laugh at things we see in you, A mirrored image is so true. Think of that sailor poet, All his poems so sweet, And of course your buddy Toerag, With a rag-wrapped 'round his feet. Laugh it up exterminator, Enjoy your days of ease, Cuz Toerag's coming back next week, To cut and play and tease... |

Well 'Deer ~ Is it snowing down there???? If not, then that should be cause for a smile or two, 'cause it's snowing here, alot, and it's slippery, and I'm gonna have to let the dog out and I'll probably fall and get all wet and cold and then there'll be bruises, and the dog will slobber all over me, and ............ if all that doesn't help, just look at that picture Charisma posted for you........Definite smiles....

Balladeer~ I've had about all that I can take of that funky blue mood you're wearing I'm gonna go to my note pad and this one I will be sharing I once found you in a 'blue funk' mood So I wrote a ditty But you recovered so quickly I didn't post it - a pity ! So here it is hope it does the trick and if not - I'll be back real quick. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The 'Blue Funk' Blues ~*Marge Tindal*~ (written 5/15/00) I miss ya' babe. What's this junk ? You're telling me ya' got the dreaded 'blue funk'. Is that a trend you're willing to mend ? Or is it a malady that brings the end ? I think perhaps I've got a cure for the 'blue funk' fungus that is among us. A can of Vienna Sausage pop-the-top Into your mouth go ahead and plop Just one bite if you're able then put the rest out on the table. You'll know for sure ya' got the 'blue funk' blues when someone else steals your sausage-eating muse. I didn't say it was poetically correct but it sure beats frowning all to heck ! 'When you're down and out, when you're on the street when evening falls so hard I will comfort you.' ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Easy to say, make me laugh or smile Your request drove my mind wild Up all night writing note after note (Such strange thoughts, this did provoke) I thought of friends made on the forum, My lines, how they'd abhor them Laughed to myself 'bout 5 this mornin' As into shreds, I tore 'em Suddenly, I broke out in a roar. YOU, this was intended for! I felt so relieved, smiling at last. For this, I'm thankful you asked! [This message has been edited by a sandgrain (edited 11-19-2000).] |

Oh my 'Deer I could make you smile but only if you've got a while I could do a 'Booty Dance' you'll laugh so hard you'll pee your pants Or I could sing and soon you'd see why with just one verse you'd laugh till you cry I'd find a way to put a smile on your cute mug then wrap you up in friendship's hug Hope you're smiling soon! -SEA |
