When Mrs. Moose sent Doc to town to buy a quart of milk, ol' Doc bought magic beans instead, with coins from bag of silk. He planted them on Passions' site, quite sure that they would grow, right up to where the Giant,"Deer", did huff, and puff, and blow. And when the magic beans did sprout ol' Doc commenced to climb, then Pippers everywhere did shout "Hoo-boy, that guy can rhyme!" But, Balladeer, from high above, looked down with great dismay, "I'd better not use my kid gloves on this one!" he did say. When Doc arrived in "Giant-land", he spied the golden goose. He filled his pockets full of eggs, quite sure they'd be of use. The giant "Deer", he did not fear, not by the slightest trace, said " Fact, I kinda like it here, move over ballad-face!" The giant "Deer" was so upset he lumbered after Doc., who quickly slid back down the stalk and grabbed his favorite wok. "Deer" slipped and fell, a mess, oh well, did he make of the place, the egg foo yung, they say it hung in streams upon his face. The moral of this story folks, I'd say was pretty clear, 'cuz when it comes to runnin' yolks, you just can't beat a "Deer"! |

Hey, Doc! You want to take on gods? Try Odin, Thor or Zeus. They are much weaker and perhaps a challenge for a Moose. Perhaps a Loki may allow your words to give him fear But don't allow your life to end by taking on the 'Deer. There is one thing that I can guarantee you, Dr. Moose... You may not get the eggs but you will get the golden goose! Forget the beanstalks, stay down on the ground where you belong. Don't try to be what you can't be or you won't be one long.  You bought the beans instead of milk? How silly can you be? Your momma might have starved to death while you were chasing me. I've read your silly lines of verse and I know what it means... That, when it comes to chasing 'deer - hey, Jack! You don't know beans!!!!  |

ROFLMAO... the images this presents in my mind could deflate Deer's ego beyond redemption! LOL Keep up the good work, Doc... I enjoyed both poem and response... and when you're keeping Deer occupied, he's nicer to that sweet saint Toe! LOL |

majnu, It's becoming quite obvious that you have excellent taste in poetry. Lol, glad you got a laugh out of this. Doc Balladeer, Do I sense, perhaps, a ruffled feather or two? How could this be as "Deer" are not supposed to have feathers, nor are gods?Maybe you landed on a chicken when you fell from grace, who's to say? Doc suthern, Thank you my dear for that welcome bit of encouragement. I will try my best to keep him occupied for a while, but, "Saint Toe" may be a bit of a stretch, lol. Doc EA, Why, thank you! Full of something I've been told, will be 'til I've turned to mold, words I've written long forgot, egg on face ("Deer" missed a spot)! Doc |

earth Angel: how can you call Toe a saint when you tell me he deserves every bit of what he gets from ol' Deer? Saint....that guy is no more a saint than my dog eating dinner off my plate when i'm not looking... "Sticks and stones will break my bones, |
