Toerag had spent the night in bars and he was heading back. He saw ole LongJohn in the alley, carryin' a sack. "Hey, LongJohn! What you got there, boy?" said Toerag, with a smile. "Got some chickens", John said. "Gonna eat them in awhile." "Hey, LongJohn!", Toe said, with a grin. "Let's have a little fun." "I guess how many's in the sack, you got to give me one." LongJohn gave a little laugh. His face was filled with glee. "You guess right, you can have them both." and Toerag screamed out "THREE!!" |

What a wonderful poem!......it gave me a magnificent moment of grand ‘comic relief’! [superb ‘graphics’ too!]...In 40 yrs., I have yet to succeed in writing a truly humorous poem....(that's like my ‘holy grail’!)....it seems so ‘natural and easy’ for this fine ‘poetic voice’!....boy, am I impressed! |

If it weren't that this forum is moderated I'd add a line that's X-rated But it would surely be pulled in to the forum we playfully call DM ! Oh no ... here the fun comes !!! ToeMan, Balladeer ... get it going ... someone will Fed-X it to LongJohn~ Balladeer ... this IS priceless~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

miscellanea...my pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it passing shadows..glad your dog got a kick out of it!! Sunshine...drag LongJohnback? That's a tall order. The man is sailing some unknown seas, as opposed to Toerag, who is only generally "at sea". I'll try Nightshade...your guffaws are always welcome! secondhanddreampoet...comedy just comes natural to me whenever I think of Toerag! Thank you for your kind words... Toerag.....forthcoming? That's a three-syllable word! Congradulations, boy!! Your vocabulary, along with your waistline, is growing 'loper....I'm game! Margie...I know what you mean. There IS an X in Toerag but we have to play nice, right? Thanks for being there. |

Longjohn said "You're off by one" As he headed for the door Toerag begged for one more chance "I meant to holler Four!" With my apologies to Balladeer and Toerag Take care and Have fun. Steve |
