I'd love to be the man
My kids all think I am
I'd like to be a scholar,
Or maybe Superman

I wish I sang like Elvis
From octaves high to low
Singing gospel and some country
And a little Rock and Roll

It would be nice to have the looks
Of that guy they often use
On the cover of that magazine
The one they call G.Q.

If I had the knowledge,
And the expertise you all show here
I'd be a profound poet,
Like the master Balladeer.

But to be like Balladeer,
I'd have to make some changes,
Gain 90 pounds and change my voice
To effiminate high ranges.

Toe, ye need change nary a hair on thy beauteous head for ye be a strapping young buck! ~ Uh, oh! I'm sorry! That must be Balls of Deer that I am referring to! lol

On a more serious note, Dear King of Rags, don't be so hard on yourself! You rule!

Enjoyed the signature 'Toe Twist' at the end of this wonderful write!

Have yourself a great day, my friend!
Loveya!

Toerag,
  I was waiting for the punch-Poor Balladeer got it.  Shame on you!  Anxiously awaiting another volley...  
  I think you are an "are".  Wouldn't change a thing!  To say the least, you make life interesting!

I see ole Toerag still wishing he wuz Balladeer. Guess I'll have to repeat some lines I wrote in a poem once..

The Lama smiled and said, "All right...
Catch moonbeams in your hand...
Speak words of love so sweet that
Only angels understand...

Make rainbows change their colors
Make the lion lose its roar
Cause the morning dove to call your name
Bid Hell to close its door...

Make every female on this earth
Feel like she's Gueneviere
With Lancelot riding by her side....
And you'll be Balladeer."


Keep wishin', lugnut. Every child must have his dream.....

Now you know I was getting ready to comment on the man you are and the voice you have (however stingy you are about sharing it! *G*) and your great looks and wonderful poems... then the last verse!!!! LOL

DON'T GO THERE!!! LOL One Bal is enough... and this world would be poorer without our beloved Toe being just as he is. *S*

Enjoyed! *S*

This started out so nice! And then.  Oh, well, what do I expect? A laugh, and that's what I got. So-good show!
