Twas The Night Before Christmas, At Balladeer's House, Not a creature was stirring, (You can bet not a mouse) Poor Balladeer, Was all snug in his bed, While visions of cockroaches, Danced in his head. Milk and cheap cookies, Were left by the hearth, A plastic bag and Pepto, In case Santa should barf. All of a sudden, he heard such a clatter, He jumped outta bed, To see what's the matter! Up on the rooftop, Santa was twitching, The reindeer were scatching, Shaking and itching. With Balladeer's knowledge, And without hesitation, He knew of the answer: A flea-infestation! He ran next store To his sailor friend LongJohn, Got his X-girlfriend's bathsoap, "Walmart Diazinon" He opened the top, Put it on Blitzen, On Prancer-on Dancer, And finally on Vixen (You've heard of Vixen, that reindeer that's blonde, She once had this "thing" For that pervert LongJohn) The reindeer felt better It was after eleven, Santa kept itching, Deer dusted with "Sevin" Then Santa went off He yelled over his back: "Merry Christmas to all" By "MistleToe-rag" |

ToeMan~ What a true ragging you've given our Balladeer. Funny fellow - Hope your holidays are bright and cheerful For we know you'll drop by with an earful ... of harassment for the fearful - Both LongJohn and Balladeer will cower in their stockings While you just keep the Passion's board rocking !  *Hi, sweet man ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

every bug from miles around gathers inside don't they, because they all need a Christmas ballad to make them sing "ho ho ho" and he takes care them doesn't he! "Always be a first rate version of your self instead of a second rate version of someone else." Marilyn Monroe |

Toe, Too funny!!! Never knew Santa had fleas!!! 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 |

Toe - Great poem - and I know it's the truth (except for that bareface lie about that cute, sweet, hot lil Vixen - oops). It's great seeing you try to write poems that rhyme. We all have to start somewhere - lol. Stand by for a response! For even a slight slight cannot go unpunished! |

Twas the night before Christmas And you folks all know This suthern belle's thinking About that sweet Toe And of how richly My life has been blessed By having his friendship. He's simply the best! The spirit of giving We feel in this season Is his every day. He asks for no reason To make the world brighter As he passes through - When compassion's your master, Being kind's what you do. We've all benefited From the smiles he shares His humor and great wit Just show that he cares. But behind the laughter Is a man who's known grief, A heart craving peace, A soul needing relief. So Santa, I have Just one thing on my list: Could you please give my dear friend Complete happiness? Surround him with love Let the laughs reach his soul Give decades of good health To relish his role Of doting father To his daughter and son, Give success and fulfillment And plenty of fun! Return some of the joy That he gives to me And I'll be satisfied - This I guarantee! Sorry, sweets... I stopped in to visit your poem before leaving for the farm... knowing I probably wouldn't find an invitation for rescue from that fate but would take some smiles with me. *S* And then I went and got all serious. *S* (Just let me know the when and where for my punishment... I know I deserve it! *EG*) Wherever you are, you're held in this heart... I wish you the very best, dear one... (and one silly ***** suthern belle for balance! LOL) Merry Christmas, sweet man... SMOOCH! |

very cute..including the responses...but I must have missed something and don't quite understand this "pesting" occupation of yours...and how it started, maybe one day you shall explain to anyone who doesn't understand it's beginnings? thank you for a fun read and have a wonderful holiday ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |
