(This worked good for Toe so I thought I would reward Kevin with it, also...(won't count it, though, Kev  )Once upon a midnight snoozing After a night of heavy boozing With Andrew Scott, my buddy, and old Long John at the bar Suddenly, within mid-stumble, thought I heard a little mumble, "What the world is that?", I grumbled Standing near the kitchen door. 'Tis the breeze and nothing more. Once again I tried to rise up, Trying hard to get my thighs up I heard that distant sound come somewhat louder than before. "What the hell is happening here? Could it be Long John with a beer? That's it! A nightcap for good cheer. Here I opened wide the door….. Kevin sat…..and nothing more. "Kev!", I cried. "What brings you here Upon the steps of Balladeer And why the hell are you dressed in a red Christian Dior? Oh, dear Kev, please don't look so sad. It looks like you are going mad. Please tell me now, my useless gonad What brings you here to my back door?" Quoth poor Kevin…"please…..no…more" "Why, Kevin, boy, my little cretin, We know you've taken quite a beatin' Since I am known to leave my victims lying on the floor But you're the one who drew your guns and blasted me with witless puns Now YOU'RE the one who lies undone Impaled on my rhyming sword." Quoth poor Kevin…"please…no…more" "HAH! You will find no pity here! No brainless little ditty here. Pure poetry comes out from each and every single pore. So hold on to your mindless chatter in your head until it splatters And you go mad as other hatters Who had come to win before!" Quoth poor Kevin…."please…no…more" And poor Kevin, never flitting, Still is sitting, drooling, spitting, Mumbling fragments of half-sentences and no one knows what for For it was made so very clear to all the world by Balladeer That no one ever need to fear The poet Kevin was before…. Speechless here….forevermore. |

Worth playing on Kevin, for sure. But, ever the gentleman it doesn't count. What a guy!  |

You're my hero! LMAO What's funny to me about this whole duel thing, is that after Tracey the Evil posted that ridiculous story about Judge Judy and me and you responded with disdain...I told her, 'And when I grew up I wanted to be Balladeer, now you've ruined it'. I sit happily in your shadow with awe and respect. Hell, I even had a Spam sandwich for lunch while I watched from the front row. I did, I swear, ask my dog. |

Hmm, makes you not want to admit when you grow up you want to be like Balladeer. My goodness you must have been delivered when you were born in iambic pushes, and pulls, and it has just stuck with you, as I can't think of another explanation for how fast you whip these out! Good show Michael. ~*~ Carpe' Diem ~*~ |

Ah Michael ... now you know I love this for your infamous witty perspective ... but truly, the verse itself is excellent in format, internal rhymes and flow. I could hear Vincent Price ringing through my mind throughout the read. Much enjoyed! Best wishes, /Kit |

Ahhhh Sir Balladeer... Like any true champ of the ring, consistency with a bit of flexibility will always win the round. You’ve merely adjusted a proven technique for dispatching your latest challenger. Though this one may not count, I believe it’s worth a standing eight. He’s on the ropes and bleeding. Keep landing the blows and the pretender will soon be vanquished. Now get in there and RIP HIS HEAD OFF! Ohhh...sorry about that... just had a Rocky flash back. |

Ah Deer, you are the master. This duel is such fun to watch (even if I am late to the boxing ring) And what's this??Duncan calling me Tracey the Evil??? Hah, thought I wouldn't see this while I was away huh??? Should I start posting more stories about you??? Can you say "dare"??? If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
