Let me tell you the story 'bout a guy named Toerag
On that tragic and fateful day,
Charged a twenty on his Visa and got-a computer,
Took a ride on the cyber hi way.

He started on Juno, then switched onto Mindspring,
But the access was nuthin' but hell,
So he sub-scribed to Earthlink and piddled with "M"-Soft,
And settled with A-O-L.

Now he's travelled thru Cyberspace-at one-helluv a fast pace,
Just clickin' with out one fear,
Then stumbled into poetry-(a site that is all free)
And met a guy named Ball-a-deer.

Now Balladeer's like LongJohn, They're both always ridin' on,
Poor Toerag and his sweet kind ways...
But being such a nice guy, and never ever asking why,
Just turns his cheek and walks a-way.

Now all you citizens of poetry,
Don't ya think it's a scandal,
The way Toerag takes all this pain?
Write letters to Balladeer
And also to LongJohn,
To be nice to Toe again!

LOL ... the letters are on the way Toerag!  This was a wonderful verse, and I'm sure they'll see to it that they respond, for whatever would we do without you three Muskateers to keep us all smiling?  

Best wishes,

Why you'd think they'd be on everyone's post.  There's only been more than 3000 topics since this board began.  Let's see, that's more than 300 a day, if the 10th is when this one began.  Right now I don't recall.  I mean, after all, do they have to work for a living or something?

Good one Toerag. Funny, unless you mean it.
I thought this was going to be a pity party, but it was better than that.  Read ya, when I read ya.

I'll write and I'll fuss
Cajole, even cuss -
They indeed should be nicer to you! *G*
Ya mean they drove you away?
Sweetie, they'll rue the day
Those meanies made suthern so blue! LOL

Hiya, sweet cheeks... (Perhaps ya'd better suck that pouting lower lip in before it gives me ideas. *EG*) It sure is great to see you... I love the poem... and if harassing your playmates can persuade you to stick around and/or visit more often, I'll bombard them with my nonsense!!! LOL

Hmmmm... or perhaps this is your master plan to keep me busy so YOU will get some respite from me? LOL. SMOOCH!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Mr.Toe,
More so than any others I enjoy the writings that make me laugh and on that note I`d like to thank you for this one.
Good Job.

Mr Toerag my dear
you are all alone down here.
Deer has gone cruisin'
to find some new schoomzin'
John's on the fly
with dear Lorelei
So rag there's just me
watch out for Kethry.

I ain't gonna rite nice stuff but if yer not perlite I'm gonna print yer tribute, that'll ruin it fer yer.

They must of knew you were back on board.
LngJhnAg and Balladeer have gone into hiding.
I think the coast is clear so you are welcome to take over.

Well, Balladeer is back in town -
That should lift our Toerag's frown!
Long John's got his Lorelei,
A lot of work, and a baby's cry!
They're new grandparents, you see
Hangin' out in Tennessee.
Toerag's missing all the news...
suthern's just here missing youse.

Toerag,
I'm hurt, I'm crushed, I'm even sore
that you have evened up the score.
with words like "Kethry even you"
it's not like my words were untrue
there's one more thing before I go
I guess, I'm glad that you're back Toe.

If Bill Gates would have known one day
That you'd be pushing keys
I think he would have begged for mercy
Down on bended knees.

You're hitchhiking on the cyber-highway
Just trying to look dumb
But folks don't know that thing you're waving
Really ain't your thumb!

So you come to our little spot
Looking for victims here
But you weren't ready for the likes
Of good ole Balladeer.

Now that you got your tail whooped
You look for sympathy
But it won't come from LongJohn
And you know it won't from me!!

We know you for the man you are
A crafty, evil soul
Who's main goal is to soothe the ladies
And then take control.

There's only one thing left to say
Then I'll be moving on
"Welcome back, you ugly thug..
I miss ya when you're gone!!!!"

Nothing like singing to the tune of "Beverly Hillbillies" in the morning. ROFL!!!

Toe and Deer both good ones! (poetry that is)
