Toerag at the Line
By Larry Chadwick

Toerag got to work late,
He’s employed by the state.
Imagine him gainfully employed,
Though it makes him quite annoyed.

An explanation was required,
Lest he’d get himself fired.
He did hesitate and then a pause,
For fear they had just cause.

But that pause when Toe let time lag,
Was time enough for Long John Ag.
He said that he could explain,
With absolutely nothing to gain.

LJA came upon a stop light oh so green,
What he saw was quite a scene.
There was Toerag sitting at the line,
Fast asleep as if it were just fine.

Tempers rose and horns did beep,
But there sat Toerag fast asleep.
His checks still come from the state,
But the Unemployment Department sets the rate!

Hi Larry!

I guess Toerag is still sleeping. He hasn't responded yet. Poor fella must really need his sleep. This might interrupt narcolepsy for a while...

Fun write!

(giggles in delight) Awwwwwww, not let's let him get his rest so he'll be fresh for work tomorrow, once he settles with the employment office! (smiles) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Larry, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

This was cute, Larry...
I think Mr.Toe will be happily insulted by it.

faterider,
Yeah...what's with that? I'm ashamed of him.

Thanks.

Shenachie,
You make a good point. I'll try not to disturb him either. Thanks.

Noah,
Good idea...old people need all the rest they can get!

Thanks.

Lauren,
It's one of the spices of life.

Thanks.

Lyra,
Let's hope so. At least it isn't about his anatomy. Though that sparks an idea!

Yanno? I remember when I was a smart-ass old wild hippie type gangster biker type and would pass out frequently, (I wasn't nearly as shy and "wall flower" quiet-peaceful type guy back then)and a cop stopped me and told me to walk a straight little white line...I told him I didn't know if I could walk that line but if he'd loan me a dollar I'd roll it up and snort that sucker! (There wasn't anything clever about this write, you should be asham........snore, drool, tossing and turning, snore..snore...snore.....dreaming of retribution)

ROTFLMBO Hey...wiseguy. This happened to a gal I worked with at the state office in Washington state. Then she was dumb enough to confess it at the office! I thought it was pretty funny then and I still think its pretty funny now. But if you'd rather I write about your anatomy...

ROFLMAO... I don't know which is funnier... the poem... or Toe thinking he's the shy and "wall flower" quiet-peaceful type. LOL

Something tells me I'll enjoy that retribution he's dreaming of. LOL

But Larry... Please be careful when writing of Toe's anatomy... I'm not sure I can bear the excitement... the mere thought of such perfection has me drooling more than that sleeper! LOL
