All alone on that cold dark night Armed with only a dim flashlight The bushes rattled very near Causing me to shake with fear Being brave I stood my ground Then began to look around When I saw just behind the bush Poor old Toe’s naked Tush I laughed a bit but then he told How mean old ‘Deer had taken his clothes It seems the two were out on a hunt And bragging about their last big stunt When a bear of enormous size Had stepped from the brush to their surprise Now ‘Deer told Toe “this could be bad” But reminded him of another time he had When all that saved them was acting crazy But he could ‘member all it was a bit hazy “I think if we just distract him here” Continued on the wise Balladeer “I can reach safety in the truck” (Old Toe just stared a bit dumbstruck) “Take off your clothes then stand real still” “When I run to get over the hill,” “I’ll toss them at the bear and he’ll” “get confused which’ll give me time “to think up a real good rhyme.” Toe understood the game being played That with ‘Deers rhyme they could get away Cause everyone knows they’ll lull you to sleep With out ever having to count sheep. Well Toe disrobed and then found this bush While Deer took off trying to save his tush Seems the rhyme old ‘Deer was thinking Got kind of clouded by all his drinking The bear caught ‘Deer in just a few strides So Toe stepped up and began to try Now the bear heard Toe and began to shake The rhymes so bad they made the old ground quake ‘Deer took off being quite rude leaving poor Toe standing there Nude Moral of the story…. Well you can’t talk about morals and those two in the same story So there isn’t one…. [This message has been edited by Cpat Hair (03-14-2003 07:46 PM).] |

Well, you certainly have this one right, Hair. Toe's poems have always been, er, unbearable! Now I know why you write in free verse!! |
