Here’s a story, I don’t know where from, But I put it in poetry, to enjoy it some




Bar Room Act

Bum said, Yeah I’m destitute,
Lost my job and everything to boot,

I need me a drink , but I got no Dough,
You give me a drink , I’ll put on a show,

I got me a hamster and a frog , that’s keen,
They’ll put on something like you’ve never seen,

Bartender said , well now, I gotta see it,
A hamster and frog would be a big hit,

Out of his pocket a little hamster came,
And waited for orders, he really was tame,

Then ran to the piano and jumped up on the keys,
He ripped off Elvira and Blue Eyes with ease,

A musical Hamster with talent this rare,
Everyone in the bar room was turning to stare,

Said, what about froggy , what does he do?
Well he’s just learning, his whole act is new,

He’s the great singer, sweet as a bird ,
The best Opera Singing that you ever heard,

But I gotta sell him, cain’t sing country , stuff,
He’s trying his best , but it’s still pretty rough,

Hey hamster play opera give these folks a treat,
You’ll see what I told you , he cain’t be beat,

Finished his song and not one eye was dry,
A man came running he wanted to buy,

For three hundred “C’ notes ol’froggie went, flying.
Bartender said No,No!, he’s pleading and crying,

Man are you crazy, that frog’s a real treasure,
The coin he can make, you cain’t even measure ,

Bum said I’m leavin , He’s gonna be pissed,
You see that ol’Hamster is a Ventriloquist !!!

So, let me think for a while... So, it was the Hamster that sung, and the frog just lip-sync?

Enjoyed but not like the others in the same vein. You're not to blame for putting that ol' frog back in the quagmire. I was wondering where you'd be ever since the Judge (Judging UI) was looking for you: heading South on the North Lane? Don't give up! If the going gets rough, skoot out of town after packing the boot with Black Labels. Follow Dave Brubeck on the Queen Liz-II in his "Crossing". He's bound tole
