One night last week Balladeer Bold,
Tried to rob a house,
He crept up to the window,
As quietly as a mouse.

Through the window, into the room,
Which led to a great long hall,
If he had known twas an old maid's home,
He'd never had paid the call.

About nine o'clock the old maid came,
"Oh I'm so tired," she said.
Thinking that all was well that night,
She forgot to check under the bed.

She took out her teeth and a big glass eye,
And the hair from the top of her head,
Balladeer had a frightening fit,
As he watched from under the bed.

The old maid reached for her great big gun,
And to Balladeer said;
"Young man if you don't marry me,
I'll blow off the top of your head."

Balladeer scoped out the room,
But saw no place to scoot,
He looked at the teeth and her big glass eye,
and said, "Woman for God's sake shoot!"

Toe darling boy, this is simply too funny, I love it, I adore these quips between you too, it has me in stitches.

Thanks for the smile Toe it goes beautifully with the sunshine here. It’s a beautiful day and this is a fabulous bit of writing. I love it utterly utterly love it. Big smiles here, and a round of applause

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

Toe,
some words of encouragement,which I've also posted on my poem in case you don't get back here.

your words have grace and sometimes poise
you use them up as little toys
you make us laugh and that's a gift
heal torn hearts when there's a rift
you show your wisdom hid by wit
and make us think and smile a bit
you take the words turn them around
and leave us rolling on the ground
don't underestimate the bathroom wall
it's needed here by one and all
just remember if you go
I have that tribute I will show
The one that shows just what you're not
your reputation will be shot

Keth

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown

Hey!!!!
I am trying to make my reputation around this table as the comedian...Stop being funny! Desist forthwith.
I loved this one, We all need a smile a day and I have had a good one here.
Thank you.
Kind thoughts,
John

LOL.....this is so cute, Mr.Toe.
When I was little, one time...my parents hired a babysitter to stay overnight and she took out her teeth and put them in a glass...
It scared me so much that I asked them never to have her babysit us again.....

That gal gave me the biggest scare
That I've had in my life.
It dawned on me that was Toe's house
And she was Toerag's wife!!!!

May love and light always shine upon you!
