may I present Toerag the poet
indeed the best, and don't you know it!
in all of Passions there is none as he
and he won't even charge you a fee!

he has fought monsters without any fear
battled LngJhn and his nemesis Balladeer!
fought them bravely with long flowing strokes
until the very end saying "That's all folks!"

he was not born, but came into being
that way he avoided that babyish teething
came to this world much more than a man
he came as Toerag for that was the plan

and in his coming did the people rejoice
"All Hail Toerag!" they cried with one voice
they cheered and cheered and then cheered more
moving him deeply, yea, to his core

then did the bells peal loud and pealed long
they rang and they rang indeed quite strong
and then did his hand verily smash the clock
from his dream he did wake, yes with a shock!

yes my friends, it was only a dream
and seeing this, he was really steamed!
so, my friends, what did he, our Toerag do?
he went back to sleep, wouldn't you?

Not a dream at all! LOL. For he IS the best (in spite of LJA's and Balladeer's attempts to slander such excellence *G*) ... and he can't seem to shake this suthern cheering section! *G* (although I might more accurately be called his own personal nightmare. *G*)

I love this, Sven... it's a very nice tribute to one of this world's finest beings. *S*

Sven you have written of Toerag, and yes he is a poet. But I wonder who's dream he started from, or maybe it was their nightmare.Oh don't be surprised if you don't get a bill from him. I think he does charge a fee, just for writing about him.

Sven,
you had me cheering then, right up to the end when I found out Toerag was allowed to go back to sleep,...and I ask who allowed this thing, when we are all working our tails off...
