With a little help from sy: Dear John (I mean Mike) I very rarely give rebuttal (Ha) But there’s a rumor I must scuttle The curse of Isabel that set sail From a knobby kneed golfers tale He stands quite tall in poet’s hall But I’m no poet not at all. Rides a Mercedes old and perky Hogs the road like a Christmas turkey. Loves the taste of warmed up Spam And eats it like some kind of jam. He is generous to a fault But smoking he can’t call a halt He has idiosyncrasies Like buying stocks that he believes Will make him rich to retire But blows out like a flat tire. They say he has the gift of humor But I would say that’s a rumor Or why would his profession be Just zapping bugs for you and me. A photographic memory That sometimes strikes like sorcery To throw a web upon the girls To twist them in his web of spoils Now I’m not saying anything bad But I sure wouldn’t want him as my dad I like him and he is my friend And hope these truths won’t bring an end. |

AWWW, you didn't need a rebuttal. Niether of you can seem to squelch the charm of the other. I hope Isabel laughed along with us, as you must admit, Deer's poem left me in tears (laughter) and I'm very sure you got some chuckles just as he will when he reads this.You are very sweet and Isabel is a dear. I laughed through this one too. Ahhh poetry can be lots of fun! Liz |

From a knobby kneed golfers tale ============================== ROFL...way to go Isabel...get him where he lives... He's been around enough to know the woman always gets the last word! Besides...if he gets mad all ya have to do is cook him some SPAM and hes back eating out of your hand  |

Isabel, if my little ditty got you to write a poem, it was a rousing success.  I must say I liked your rebuttal But I can't say that you were subtle! Attack me if you want but please Don't tell gals I have knobby knees!  And you speak ill of my Mercedes? Now I'll NEVER get the ladies! My stock picks? There you are right on. One day they're here...next day they're gone! So go ahead and just abuse me. As a friend you'll never lose me. A character you'll always be But you're a super gal to me! |

Balladeer is much revered But what is this that now I hear? His poems never fail to please... But warmed up Spam and knobby knees? On a pedestal he sits In this poetic hall But it's kinda nice to know He's human, after all! LOL This is absolutely wonderful!!! What a great sport you are, Isabel... I loved this rebuttal. *S* Please join us often! *S* |

With Spammy breath and knobbly knees our Balladeer is bound to please But all those rumours you did scuttle in your cool and wise rebuttal Now Deer is heading for the hills to save himself some more pride spills Isabel you scuttled him But was that the wisest thing He'll come back you know he will With wit more sharp than dentist's drill. Good comeback. I await the next one with bated (or should that be baited) breath. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

I've seen that bigroach, Balladeer He's really quite a sight; Last seen was headed out of here, but took a left, not right... I told him Lauderdale is SOUTH; The airport though is west. But no one dared open their mouth They thought it would be best For Balladeer could find the way Said, "I don't need ya, Teach!" I chuckled when I saw that they Were right back at my beach!  LOL - This is great, Iz & Sy... I love it..  I have tried to email - I'll call over the weekend... Love to you both..  |
