Where's Old Balladeer? |

I know this guy named Balladeer, He read the paper every day. What was strange and very queer, The "obits" made his day. He'd write down the obituaries, Everyday he did the same Then take out the phone book And cross out all those names. Early this one morning, while reading the obits, He ran across his own name, causing him much fright, So he thought he'd make some phone calls, To get this mis-print right. His boss was who he called first, To say it wasn't true, But he'd already read the news And called the florist too. His boss got on the phone, His reply just left 'Deer numb, He said, "Tell me something Balladeer, Which place you calling from?" [This message has been edited by Toerag (08-02-2002 08:50 AM).] |

Can we place bets? LOL It would be tough, though... his devilish grin (and attacks on sweet innocent Toe *G*) contrasts with his big heart and confuses the destination? LOL I enjoyed this, sweets... maybe he can put down the paper long enough to come out and play. *G* |

We'll bump this up just to show Where Balladeer can find his Toe sitting here, where revenge is sweet and wait to see his reply, tout suite.   |

Balladeer is hibernating Sitting there congitating Just how he will get revenge on that ToeRag rascal thing You can bet that when he's done ToeRag will be on the run Hurry up 'Deer' the bets are down You'll send Toe scampering for Tampa town ! Where we will all get to see a showdown of true poetry Then there'll be much need to cheer for there will reign ... our King Balladeer~ See you in the mortuary where the sheets are drawn ... OH MY GOD ... the corpse is moving One ToeRag ... long gone~  ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I just like the idea of owning crossed-out phone books. Said if I only could ... |

 (giggles in delight) Oh my, looks like that job ain't big enough for the two of them! LOL! Poor Balladeer, now look at what you made him feel! This is delightful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Toerag, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Toe darling boy, quick duck, wonderful writing but ‘Deer will surely get you for this. Still it’s a fabulous way to get him to play and it certainly will work, you know ‘Deer never will take this lying down. And we all know where ‘Deer will go to, you on the other hand will be in the other place with the sinners like me. Its no use my going to angel central, I wouldn’t know anyone well except for ‘Deer, and even his recommendation wouldn’t get me through the door. I love this 'tis excellent   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Cheers, Toerag! You've amused the rest of us, Waiting for Balladeer to surface. And when he does, prepare to run... Methinks the battle has just begun. Shenachie |
