It was in late September When LongJohn was conceived It was a chilly evening In 1943. Twins the doctor said, And then just nine months later His mother's water broke She was finally in labor. Seven long hours later The twins were finally born His mother was ecstatic Tired, sore and worn. The twins were not identical A baby and fecies, The baby died, LongJohn survived The epitome of his species! |

I noticed that Long John had dropped by today... just in time to be inspiration! LOL What a break for you, dear Toe That Long John did survive Having each other as targets Makes both of you thrive! LOL... I hope LJA sticks around long enough to give you what you're asking for with this tell-all expose, dear one... His mother labored seven hours To give birth to our friend Now he'll labor just as long To get you back again! *G* |

Toerag this is funny I like this a lot, you and Long John both have me in stitches. This is a very good riposte I think. And if it’s war and no doubt it is I shall enjoy it even more. A good war of words, you lob a bomb which explodes harmlessly, Long John lobs one, the range gets nearer, the words get clearer and the fallout is wonderful to watch. Rather like watching a pyrotechnic display, lots of bangs and oohhhhs and ahhhhhhhs, and pretty harmless really. You are harmless aren’t you? Mostly so! that’s good. Excellent writing I like this I like this a whole lot Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |
