Come In Here to Roast the Balladeer! By Larry Chadwick The reason you have been invited in, Is for a roast of our favorite Balladeer. It’s time to raise a hardy toast, And tell him why you think he is a ‘deer’. Don’t be shy and don’t hold back, Think like that sick mind of Don Rickles. Forget what Balladeer may say, I’m sure he’ll have the giggles. So rack your brain and cock those pistols, And let the roast begin. Balladeer enjoy yourself, Please wear that silly grin. And in the spirit of fairness…I’ll go first. |

Balladeer is so hooked on the ladies… He has a total of six exes. My Ex-wife……. Wouldn’t that make him from Texas? |

Someone mention ...venison? I know just what to do... milk and honey is the thing to make the deer meat stew! Lots of heat to tenderize, mushroom's gravy--so divine-- and time and thyme and time, again, until a fork shouts "mine!" *with giggles* Congrat on your milestone, Michael! Thank you Larry! I can't begin to tell you how much Balladeer has helped me--he is a gifted poet and wonderful teacher! |

Balladeer and Long John - Unplugged It has been a little hectic, it has been a wee bit wild But most of us have read them and inevitably smiled But it seems the gritty dirt has now been swept beneath the rug As Balladeer and Long John are performing now - unplugged More gentle are their warblings, more friendly is the trill Long John gave a rave review of B’s poetic skill Now upon the poet’s stage, neither will get slugged For they’re brothers to the very end, and playing tunes, unplugged They’ve removed the amps and wires, they discarded mikes and things The simplicity inspires little strums on cat gut strings And Balladeer made sure that everything had been debugged For the two are in their glory, unrehearsed, unscathed - unplugged L J unplugged his plug-ins, Balladeer debugged the bugs Now the dialogue, it seems to me, would be a bunch of hugs But when asked about the cat gut strings, Long John simply shrugged “A pirate does what he has to do, to get himself unplugged” Another sheep, another gut, how perfectly atrocious! Balladeer said, “Strumming cat gut strings does not make you precocious My mission is to save the sheep, for that’s what poets do” Then Long John laughed, “If that is it, I really pity ewe” He turned away, then shyly looking back with beaming grin Bring out the amps and steel guitar, I wanna get plugged in Hey, guys just one more thing, we all just love your poetry It's a major exercise in tritest triviality PS, You can't roast one without the other! LOve ya both Liz |

Deer bugs me in the morning, de-bugs me late at night Although I'd like to roast him with chuckles of delight I'm finding it quite difficult, and still remain polite I've read all his poetry.... the good, the sad, the moaning some of his best lampoon ones always leave me groaning but can I take this roast outside...to let him be home phoning I see around me songs of praise most of them for Deer he has offered all he has to bring good writing here No! I just can't do it,roasting him would cost me tears I guess all of the compliments must go to his head I know the dreams of womenfolk visit him in bed I cannot do a roast of Deer...could he be grilled instead? Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown [This message has been edited by Kethry (12-29-2001 07:10 AM).] |

I think Liz and Kethry have said it all. I too have enjoyed all of the writings here on Passions, especially from the "'Deer". Thanks for a job well done and looking forward to more of the good stuff. |

Wow! I don't know if I should laugh or cry! Balladeer is a brat, Now what do you think of that? The girls they love him so, That's what makes him crow! He's good at what poets do... But then again, so are you. Maybe it is about his age, Everybody sees him as a sage! Perhaps he has cast spell, He seems to have done it well. All I want is a simple roast, But all I hear is everyone boast. So everyone go back to your rooms, And think with just a little doom. I want you to roast his royal butt, What's a matter, have you got no guts? [This message has been edited by Larry C (12-29-2001 10:38 AM).] |

Larry, please hand me the microphone...if that's okay, Just a few words about our Balladeer...I'd like to say. He's oh so sweet and charming To all the gals in here, I guess what's so alarming... And to me is quite unclear... Just how can he be so bold to ignore The ones up North who pout... While he's showing pictures without fear Of Nan he's kissing way down South! So while he is off and flirting With the new gals he hasn't seen... May I just remind him.... I HAVE A GUILLOTINE!!  *Nancy bows to the applause and disappears... Instantly to reappear..... At the back of the crowd... With Balladeer by the ear!* Thanks Larry....I feel much better now.  |

Our Balladeer is quite the man Cept when he starts eating spam I thought spam was a junk e-mail Until I heard his sorry tale Of how this is his favourite food Though the after-farts are kinda rude His duels with LongJohn and Toe Their bickering goes too and fro All trying for one upmanship Each laughs when the others slip Such fun to watch these larks each time Each thinks he’s won the duel of rhyme But Deer he has a reputation One I thing that I must here mention Of how he’s such a ladies man With women swooning at his hand He writes verses with romantic ease That bring us ladies to our knees But what’s this I see of six ex-wives?? Even cats don’t have this many lives Oh what fun this roast is. But Larry, don't cook him to well, I like my roast medium-rare!!  If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? [This message has been edited by Tracey (12-29-2001 01:26 PM).] |

Gee, Larry, see what has transpired? You little ploy for me backfired! My fellow bards are tried and true And would not put me in a stew! Well, Liz called me and John unplugged But I am sure that she was drugged And Kethry wants to have me grilled To have her appetite fulfilled.. Not even Nancy could be mean Except for that darned guillotine! Why, even Tracey girl agrees That I can bring her to her knees! Serenity? She is my hon. I'll always give her venison! I have no doubt what she deleted Would be too hot to be repeated! I remember Dino and his roasts And one thing I recall the most Was everyone that he selected Were those that he, in fact, respected. And so I thank you, Larry C. For having this fine roast for me. Not your fault it turned out this way.. There's simply nothing bad to say!!  |

Balladeer you must be older than you look, Seems you can read my like a book. Though you pringled and I'm not your son, I find that knowing you is so much fun! So I'm glad you like this little roast, It was my pleasure to be the host. But most all the poets here don't have a clue, About what it really means to to roast your stew. Thanks Member Patricius - Sir! |

God bless you, Liz. If knowing you were the only thing I ever got out of my poetry, it would be more than enough. Your poetry shall always continue to mesmerize me with its perfection. I wish all the best for you  |
