Makin' Time Listen up, I'll tell the rest of Toerag's little tale He tells it well, but left out just a bit of the detail I'd hate to leave you in the dark, 'bout what went on that day We all can learn a lesson from the games Toe likes to play Toe's telephatic Timex watch is pretty slick indeed But it's quite clear he's told his tale with intent to mislead So, Toe, I hope you'll understand if I elaborate And tell your friends the painful truth about your awful fate You see, my friends, our Toe is smooth, but not as smooth as she And though his lines are pretty good, they bring no guarantee Now Toe, he thought this girl another mountain he could climb Instead, she slapped his second hand while he was makin' time No doubt, this 'foxy blonde' was simply more than Toe could bare She dumped her drink into his lap and left him sitting there Toe sat in shock and disbelief not knowing what went wrong Was it too much to ask to simply see her in her thong? Toe ripped the watch from 'round his wrist and threw it 'cross the bar That piece of junk was worthless - hadn't gotten him too far He ordered up another drink and sat there all alone "I'll never try that line again", he mumbled with a groan The moral of this story, friends, is quite a simple one Just savor every moment, 'cause"time flies when you're gettin' none" ~vlraynes I'm sure you've probably all seen the poem that inspired this, but just in case you haven't, here's the link. ![]() /pip/Forum76/HTML/000125.html "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truly met the poet. ~vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (12-17-2002 10:21 PM).] |

Vicky, What a superb and quickly written response to Toe's 'effort'. I really feel that both he and Balladeer have met their match in you. Might I respectfully suggest that the pair of them, should become a 'Threesome' with yourself as the 'Third Member'- the presence of a lady amid the thrust and parry of reparte between them would make some interesting reading. Well Done !!!! Seasonal Greetings..... John Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world. |

But the best "line" I've heard works like this....Ya go into a bar, sit next to your "fantasy conquest"....order yourself a drink and a glass of water. You dip the tip of your finger in the water, touch it to her sleeve, then to your own sleeve and say: "Let's go over to your house and get out of these wet clothes." |

(chuckling) this adds another dimension to the ongoing feud..and a third party observer seems to have illuminated Toe's propensity for exagerating... |
