Balladeer lost all his hair, Complained his hair just wasn't there. He styled it daily with his comb, Then fertilized with Miracle Grow. Then when Winter came to pass, He grew a head of fine green grass, In certain places, (just a few) Dandelions grew there too. A bird flew bye and as a joke, Dropped an acorn from an oak. Then a sprig soon appeared, With roots protruding from his ears. His doctor said, "If I can, I'll try to come up with a plan. I think that it would be much wiser, To stay away from fertilizer." "Just as roots will plug up drains, They also tend to clog up brains, I know this plumber with a tool, Who will roto-rooter-thru on you." The plumber then began to drill, Told Balladeer to hold quite still, With this whirling-rotor thing, He rootered out the roots that clinged. The operation though successful, The prognosis was regretful, Balladeer was not much wiser, His brain was still just fertilizer. [This message has been edited by Toerag (01-07-2003 11:14 AM).] |

ROFLMAO!!!! I love this, sweets!!! Thanks for the laughter... this day certainly needs it! *S* I was thinking as I read the doc's advice to stay away from fertilizer that it was a lost cause... when one's full of it, it's tough to avoid! LOL This is one to read again and again... with a grin every time!!! |

(chuckling) Toe... I do believe you have planted the seeds for a retort from Deer, soon as he gets his ears cleaned out good and can find one to "borrow" |

Well, here we are - 2003 It's time to start the year. Here's Toerag up to tricks again Insulting Mr. 'Deer. You'd think the way he's suffered With abrasions and contusions Would make him leaving me alone A New Year's resolution. But he's as onery as he was So here we go again. It's time to skewer the skunk once more With movements of my pen. Hey, retard! Somebuddy must have given you some smart pills for Christmas 'cause you came up with some good lines in this one....and I can think of no one more qualified to write about fertilizer! Nice job, bum!  |

The only "movements" you have are not from your pen, I think they are from your brain, Which is at the other end!!! But I can't wait?..... Happy New Year Mr. Deer... |

ROFL... I love that last verse that almost was. *G* Somehow, I knew this would get you promises of retaliation. *G* suthern settles down with her popcorn and prepares to watch the show. *G* |
