I know a man named Balladeer Who hasn't been online much here Busy catching bugs I suppose Or maybe he's laying down to doze I know a man named Toe In teasing he's a pro Always makes me laugh that guy Read his poems and you know why I know a man named LongJohnAg Now he's a man who can really nag When he's around I'm in first row With popcorn and pepsi to watch the show Their muses seem to've flown elsewhere No joyful words from them to share I know it happens from time to time But I do miss their beautiful rhyme Could I tempt you to writing Deer? Though I've not much to offer I fear Cabernet Sauvignon and cheese perhaps? Just enough so you won't collapse? Could I tempt you to writing Toe? And provide us with an overwhelming show? I'll promise to send you rags galore A colourful toe rag, who wants more Could I tempt you to writing LongJohn? It's been too long since you have gone Sailor come home, please don't wait One word from you and they'll take the bait Let's make it a Christmas happening I promise you that I won't sing Holding tone is not my skill But sending you knuffels I surely will Like scattered leaves...my words will flow [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (12-14-2003 08:48 PM).] |

I hear ya, and agree. Most fitting poem, Titia, and I'm reminded again of the wonderfully witty whimsy wars 'twixt them three scalawags. |

I'm really sorry, Titia girl. I guess that I'm to blame. My stinging repartee caused them To slink away in shame. I didn't mean to be so rough. I tried hard to be gentle Not realizing those two boys Had problems that were mental. Long John moved to a desert island With his Lorelei. He watches cruise ships passing With a melancholy sigh. If someone mentions poetry His face contracts in fear Recalling all the torture At the hands of Balladeer. Toerag? Well, it seems that he Has disappeared from Earth, Convinced by words from Balladeer He didn't have much worth. I heard that he was washing windshields Down Miami way Sleeping in a cardboard box Somewhere on Biscayne Bay. He stays away from women Cause he feels a trembling fear That one might make the giant sin Of calling Toerag "Dear". So don't expect to see those fellows Sneaking around here. They learned that you don't loiter in The home of Balladeer! |

 I like this, Titia. I think I'll go get one of my poems from last year about our three musketeers. LOL I miss them and their poems back and forth to each other.  Hugs,   |

With a request like that from a lady like you, I certainly hope they make it through, there must be a reason, snow or golf balls or such, perhaps Toe is just out of touch? But bring it on these requests of yours... perhaps even Santa will rest assured that 'Deer, Toe and LongJohn make your Christmas bright by leaving you poems by glimmer of candlelight! |

When asked some time ago Why it was I chose to write, I responded I chose to lift up those, Who didn't have a muse in sight. So I wrote about that rascal 'Deer, To encourage him to try To write more clear some words in here And make the women cry. Instead.... 'Deer wrote about his bug collection And his womanizing ways. He needed direction (and disinfection) That's why I put him in his place. |

I love this, Titia... *S* So Deer's claiming to have run everyone off... but he doesn't loiter here, either? A lynch mob may be gathering under his tree to address his sins. LOL But it seems the sailor has remembered this URL... maybe Toe will find a break in his busy... let the games begin! *S* |
