Toerag will attest to this well known fact,
Tornados and divorces where he's at,
Have the same effect where they come across:
In each case someone's trailer is gonna be lost.

In Toe's trailer it would be a welcome change,
The clutter and mess, when it got rearranged,
Would improve his hygiene by a factor of ten,
Until Toe got it back to the same way again.

His unhealthy ways are a county disgrace,
The rats in the landfill won't go near his place.
It's true his abode has a tub and shower,
But the dirt on the bottom supports wildflowers.

He's a scalawag, rascal and all those things
That make him a disgrace to us human beings.
His only redeeming trait, it is clear,
Is he's one step up from that scamp Balladeer!

Yep - Toerag and 'Deer are cut from the same bolt of cloth, alright... heh

Yep, what LongJohn says is true, I got the trailer from him, (a double wide), it was about to be repossessed....I couldn't resist it, it had a great transmission in the front yard, the toilet next to the porch had some great daffodils growing in it and the outhouse in back had two stalls!!!

Good job, Longjohn....I knew you would get back at Mr. Toe...but as far as I'm concerned he's still one insult ahead of you...
I think his poem about you is a pretty hard act to follow...

Careful, sailor... I think that bolt of cloth also held the author of this poem... though you did get the frayed ragged edges! LOL

I keep meaning to clean up
But what's a gal to do?
I sing a song to sweet Toerag
"I only have eyes for you!"
(offkey and badly... but my own *G*)

He's so easy to look at
I don't pick up a broom
But let some female thang want in
My bat will clear the room!!
(faster and deadlier than tornadoes! *G*)

So don't talk bad of trailer parks
Come in and sit a spell
I'll make coffee... you and Toe
Can give each other hell!
(and enjoy every minute of it! LOL)

Long John darling boy this is utterly utterly wonderful I love it, one of your best I think. So beautifully written and so below the belt I can hear the whimpers from here. Wonderful darling boy it has me smiling and I need all the smiles I can harvest right now.

How can you say such a thing, I know you just open your mouth and hey presto Great work darling boy, absolutely great, I love it utterly


Love and warm stuff

You almost got away clean, LongJohn, and then you had to go cut your throat with the last line.

I think I'd rather take the trailer
Than living near a smelly sailor.
As far as trash, that trailer's full
But it ain't got no barnacles!

That uniform you're wearing there
Displays your menu everywhere...
There's mustard on your collar shown
And bits of meat from things unknown.

So Toe and I are quite alike?
I'm not like one who sits and brags
But at least we came from bolts of cloth
Not from a pile of filthy rags.

They say birds fall high in the air
From one whiff of your underwear
And fish turn belly up and die
Whenever you go passing by.

So get yore carcass out to sea
Cause you don't want to mess with me.
When I get done with trailer Toe
I'm coming for ya - don't ya know?

Let's see...
One lives in a messy trailer,
One lives on the smelly sea,
One lives with stinky alligators,
Not one of these guys is for me.

Darn, here I found 3 men so tall,
looking like the perfect 10,
and they're no different than the rest...
Just three more dirty old men.


hehe, just kidding (oh and by the way, it's "Hug Your Cat Week"

Let's spend less time worrying about when our life is going to end, and more on when it's going to start!

LohnJohn, i thought that the above lines are rather clever and witty...brought me a chuckle...

goody! i hope this battle of wits never ends...go for it..embarrass the duo

Oh sure - Let's shoot the messenger!  lol

I love all the really neat responses.  How I wish I could do this more often.  Especially since 'Deer and Toe are making themselves such easy targets.  heh
