When Balladeer was ten years old, He thought he had it made, He'd finally completed Three years in second grade. His life was always kind of sad, His weight-his looks and clothes, Last one picked on baseball teams, And first to pick his nose. When he turned twelve a child was born, Toerag was his name, A special kind of baby boy, With a penis AND a brain. Now Toe grew up quite popular, A boy with looks and charm, Cared for those less fortunate, Protecting them from harm. When Toe turned twelve and graduated, From a college way back east, He heard of Balladeer the scorned, Whom everyone had teased. 'Deer was bussing tables, At "Al Sharpton's House Of Soul' Making less than legal wage, And had no place to go. Toe took Balladeer, Beneath his caring wing, Taught him to write poetry, Then taught him how to sing. He soon became an expert, Sang at church and then on stage, He wrote a book of poetry With delight on every page. Toe got him on a talent show, Where he had no chance of 'losin' He's now an American Idol, And he's changed his name to 'Ruben' |

You have a penis AND a brain? Now that's my kinda man! ~ but only if they are both in good working order, that is!  From what I know of you my charming friend, school wasn't the only thing that you were fast-tracking! lol A very entertaining read! Hugs with love, Linda |

A beautiful tribute, Toerag, With words chosen poorly, too. The poetry was pretty bad, But the jealousy came through. I already knew that Sing Sing Was your "Eastern School" of choice. And your major in "Grand Larcening" Was something you'd rejoice. But what surprised me in here, Is that you hadn't made a peep, About how your friend, Balladeer, Stole your girlfriend, Sally Sheep. love ya, Toe |

Toe you sent me into giggles yet again. Nice to read you again. I have to admit the title had me a bit concerned. Bridgette  "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again. To hold someone, not for a moment but forever." A. Brink |
