If I was driving in a convertible, And the top would not go up, I'd be stuck in traffic on a windy day Behind a chicken truck. If I made a million dollars You could bet your life old man, They'd get me for back taxes, It would go to Uncle Sam. If I bought some property, Like a giant cemetary, People would quit dying, Now isn't that thought scarey? If feces became valuable, There's somtehing you could bet on, I'd be the only person, Born without a rectum. If I entered a poetry contest, It would be my luck I fear, It would be judged I'm certain, By that rascal Balladeer. [This message has been edited by Toerag (08-16-2002 04:38 PM).] |

Sounds like your kind of luck... but don't you think he'd be fair? seems to me your poetry is always beyond compare! |

Toe, You are wondering under the dark cloud again. And if you keep calling the dragon he will hear you. Did you get a new asbestos suit? |

Ah, sweets... you've written my theme song! LOL Well, except for the part about Balladeer. *G* I was hoping that this lil black cloud that insists on hovering over my head wouldn't affect you... but so much for my hopes, hunh? *G* Doom, despair, and agony on me... Deep dark depression, excessive misery! If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all... etc... etc... (just be glad you can't hear me sing... or you'd have to add an earache to your woes! LOL) I like this very much, Toe... and I needed the smiles this afternoon. *S* Thank you... and the lil birdie that whispered for me to take a peek on PIP. *S* |

Butt you have to admit Maureen he is kind of funny! Having bad luck are you? Join the club. The most valuable thing you own is a smile, wear it, and share it. |

and were wearing your toupee just think of that convertable on a wildly windy day and I really like your poems please keep posting here, Mr.Toe without your bathroom humor where would my laughter go I could laugh it down the toilet and plug up all the pipes but I'd rather turn it into words just like your candid snipes one thing that makes this site so special is your constant kvetch and jeer at your very best of macho buddies Longjohn and Balladeer Lyra |

  (big hugggssssss) Oh Toerag, if he did judge you he better be fair, or he'll have a karma crisis far beyond compare of yours, hehehe! LOL! This is wonderful, sweet friend, I just love your style of poetry, 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..." |

Oh I loved the comments as much as the poem - a little cheer for Lyra too, and I agree, we need you here to cheer us up. The most valuable thing you own is a smile, wear it, and share it. |

"if it was not for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all"  Now I know for whom this phrase was written! Deb |

Toe, ditto on the luck thing. Still you don't need luck when you have charm, charisma, beauty and wit all tied up - in your best friend.  Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

I'd say your luck is pretty good. I mean, you're still alive. With that face whoda thought That you could possibly survive? You don't speak any language Well enough to order food Yet you're here writing poetry And some folks think you're good. You make all women vomit And yet SUthern follows you And pledges her fidelity No matter what you do. You're a mole on Mother Nature's butt Not part of Heaven's plan Yet, here you are, still breathing Toe, you are a lucky man. |

Yanno, Balladeer reminds me of a Baked Alaska, sweet, warm and gungy on the outside, hard and cold within....and have ya ever really looked at some of those pictures of him?....He looks like something that got loose from Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. (I have to overlook his terrible attitude toward me though, he is old yanno) |

Toe, I think my mother warned me, About how such luck came to be. It was something about God passing out brains, And somehow you thought he said trains. So thinking you knew how to have fun, You said you'd take a really slow one. But eventually you'll crest the mountain, And so much speed you will attain. So hope your train came with good brakes, Or you will experience quite a heart ache. But don't let me cause you any fear, You're distracted by the Balladeer. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
