Toerag the dashing lover (dashing one after another, I might add - heh) |

While Long John may crave the electronics, And build a maiden of transistors and wires, Toerag prefers moonshine, gin and tonics, In the women he often desires. Suthern Comfort is his favorite repast, Sweet, strong, with a taste of the south. But she's too quick, he's not so fast, And so he must do without. Once there was Marla, a Merlot, Whose hair was smooth, wavy, and red. Toerag had soon left her though, Because she turned to vinegar in bed. Next there was Carrie, a Cabernet, Dark, pungent with a taste of French oak, Toe couldn't get in a word to say, She was bitter, and prone to sulk. Then came blonde Kelly, a Chablis, Young, sweet, though a little too dry. That wasn't her fault, it was plain to see, Toe was inept, and she said "Good bye." Along came Zelda, a White Zin, A favorite of Toe's many conquests. She was loved by all of the gay men, And Toerag loved her the best. But alas, Toe fell onto hard times, He returned to his ‘Bama estate, And now drinks only Colt 45's, And thinks that he's doing just great. So, if you are driving in the deep South, You'll see cans by the thoroughfare, All have kissed Toe's twisted mouth, Before he dumped them there. For Toe is a capricious imbiber, He'll swill down whatever he can. And then move on like a survivor, To the his next "lover" at hand. Heh heh - That ol' Toe sure knows how to woo ‘em, alrighty. |

Hello, this is Earth Angel Linda I love flowers and chocolates and lace The kind of men who woo me Don't have booze all over the place But with Toe I'll make an exception 'Cause I adore his wit and his charm, He may not send flowers and chocolates But he's great at spinning a yarn! ----as are you!

Now, well, Mr. Michael....just how do YOU, my dear friend, know so much about all of the different types of women you have written about so expertly?!? Have you met some of Mr. Toe's Southern ladies, too???HaHa!!! Ya'll (yep I say "ya'll"..must have some Southern in me, huh???) have to be really talented to keep coming back at each other this way. As you probably can tell by the replies, we all love it, though. Keep up the good work!!! Love To All, Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (10-25-2002 03:34 PM).] |

Where'd you say those beer cans are? *G* If they've touched Toe's sweet lips, they're worth a fortune... (and no, I don't mean in cash for cans at the recycling center! LOL) Any connection to him, however fragile, is worth millions to this gal... and I'd be doing my civic duty at the same time? LOL Howdy, scalywag... it's good to see you back 'round these parts... even after lunch at Hooters! LOL |

Good thang I didn't see a Corinne in here! At least not compared to a bottle. Poor Toe, always getting picked on. Hiya LngJhn, long time no read! Hope all is well, Corinne |
