You See I've Got This Friend You see I've got this friend, he's quite a splendid chap If fact he's so amazing that people suddenly start to clap When he strolls in the room you know for certain he's there His quality is something special or am I being a bit unfair It's true that there are some strange rumours doing the rounds But that he pays people to praise him, no that has no grounds After all I'm writing this eulogy purely for the fun and joy of it Okay yes money changed hands and yes it was quite a bit Anyway as I was saying he's a wonderful and talented man Oh and I don't believe that tale about that girl and her van He couldn't have got away with it, as I just know you'll agree And anyway just where would he have located a chimpanzee It couldn't have happened I know for a fact that she tells lies Besides haven't you heard he gets airsick whenever he flies I know it was on a trapeze but it counts as one and the same She must have been fibbing although it sounds a good game Look don't interupt, I'm telling you what a fine guy he is And you'll see how fantastic, but please keep him off the fizz Why do you think? It's because he can't say thanks but no more Okay he's amusing but it's me who always scoops him off the floor Maybe you're right and he's not your type, your cup of Rosalie But look how about you give him a go and I'll split with you my fee What if I promise to stay with you, I won't leave you two alone Can't you even speak to him? How about on the telephone? Look I'm getting desparate I've really tried everyone I know How about if we go out as a threesome we could go to a show I don't know which one's best, but definitely not Les Mis for sure Oh I thought you knew all about that, all right I'll tell you more It was in one of the boxes, then right at the end he sort of fell in I don't know about Les Mis but it did make the orchestra grin No I'll get some seats by an aisle I think that's a wiser choice And don't let him join in you know he has a dreadful voice So it's agreed you will do me this one favour I know it's a big one Okay I promise I'll owe you, but you know you might even have some fun Look he's charming really he's just had the very worst case of bad luck And anyway it wasn't his fault he told me, he thought she'd said duck So he's very innocent, all right, it's true he can be a gullible little fool But pretty please love I thought you said you'd give him a phone call We have a deal now you promise me you really will call him, P True That's fantastic now all I have to do is explain to him all about you Well you're not the most desirable woman he's ever likely to see Naturally I'm so used to you, that I don't even notice it, you know me But someone who doesn't know you well, might be a little put off It's not everywhere you see someone so very tall, now don't you scoff And those bits of ceiling you have in your hair he'll think it's strange But leave it to me love, all those tiny little details I'll love to arrange I'll get him to meet you at the theatre, I think that's for the best Sitting down you won't scare him off before he's seen all your rest Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 12-23-2000).] |

Marsha, lololol, Great ham! just in time for breakfast. I'm standing in line for this one. I know he packs a great picnic and as for the whine well maybe I'll pass. Keth Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there. Anon. |

But but but!! I wanted ya ta find me a woman Doc...you're the agent! Where did you get the idea that I wanted to nurse maid a man who falls down all the time and who's a drunk. Oh Marsha you can't play with your clients wishes like this. I don't want anything too extravagant. Let me give you an example... A doc, approx 5' 6", long flowing auburn hair that glows in the dark, deep sensitive emerald eyes, elegantly moulded high cheekbones, dark ruby red soft and inviting full lips, complexion like peaches and cream, voice as sultry as a mystic wind, breasts full and firm as ripe grapefruits, a waist slim enough for me to put my large hands all the way around, shaply legs that flow for miles, ankles as delicate as all the classy crystal in the world, a smile that would light up a room, the scent of the most romantic perfumed breeze in the world, a condo in Hawaii, a mere couple of million dollars in disposable income, an inbred love for spoiling the man she is with, a lover of all types of sports, oversexed, never moody, and last but not least require no prenuptial papers....you know just pure love...geez is that such a hard order to fill... goodness I wouldn't think so....oh well sigh...I can't really find the time to help you with the man I'm going to have to take a cold shower after just describing my unselfish dream...bye now sweet agent...I know ya can do it for me... love ethome |

Karen love, he asked for it, he did I swear to you he did. I just don't know, whenever I come up with a solution it's wrong. It's a good job he's not here or else he'd throw something at me. And the heavier the better. I know !! Glad you like it, I enjoy writing these, and I think P T enjoys them too, on the quiet. Take care Mushy 'Deer, I thank you very muchly, this is compliment that I definitely know I don't deserve. But I thank you because I'd like to think that i can aspire to achieve it one day. Have a great Christmas enjoy Take care Mushy P T, what can I say, will sorry cover it Okay I'll try harder, admittedly with this criteria I might have to compromise on some of them, but I'll see what I can do. And remember kid you asked me Love to you have a great Christmas bye for now. (Work work work, tote that bar lift that bale, ) Take care love Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Paula love, I'd take you on like a shot, and I'm sure P T would too. Now all I have to do is find four white mice, a pumpkin, a rat, and wave my magic wand. Mmmm now I'm sure if there were any mice around my kitty would have encouraged them to leave. She wouldn't have chased them that's far too much effort. Oh well I'll have to improvise. I'll come up with something Take care Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
