A Very Special Auction

[tcsmpsi]

Groan, on this whole series
While the rest of the board wearies
for the loss of funds
which the tax man soon duns
and financial ruin looms
while end of auction dooms.

Sorry, I have a lot of time on my hands.

It appears you ain't alone.   :D

There once was a man named Jeffrey,
Whose advice was always for free,
He lost his gall bladder,
But what does that matter,
He's still got his bats in his belfry!

[Gary_C]

TR, that is a groaner. I doubt if the doc can fix that one like he did mine.  :

[doctorb]

Yeah, TR, I think the repair shop is closed!

As I read through this thread again and chuckled, I re-read the quote from my father at the bottom of my posts.  Boy, is it true today!

[Shotgun]

Can't you just picture Doc b,
Sitting there trying to see,
If he can make rhymes with axe,
And then adding the tax,
And sending them forward with glee?

Eh?

[doctorb]

Alright Shotgun!!

There once was an auction on a forum,
As time progressed it lost decorum.
Now limericks abound,
Some good, some not so sound
Ah sanity.... Where art though to be found?

We see the auction progress,
And the bidders digress
Instead of bidding, they come here to share a word
The price is now beyond absurd,
Woe to the winner if the axe is a turd!

[dukndog]

This Forestry Forum is so fun,
That Jeff put together to run,
An Axe came to auction,
And some bid with caution,
But I have to say that "I'm Done"!!

[Jeff]

I started this day there was no doubt
with much to say and talk about
That duel with doc I could not see
the fact that I would surgically
be completely and utterly,
ALL RHYMED OUT.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Once the doctor got good at his rhyming
He began to work on his timing
He quit bidding on axes
and gave up on his practice
Now his rap song's on the chart and still climbing.

Good one Jeff.... :D :D :D :D :D F U N N Y !

#4 this week on the Rolling Stone Chart is DOCTORB, featuring SCOOP-DOGGY-POO and their smash hit:

                  " Rhymes from the Book of AXE"

[scsmith42]

As Dragnet made famous, "Just the Facts"
Some members have alluded to spending their refund of Tax,
For an item, whose artistry is not lax,
(although you won't find one on Fifth avenue at Saks)
Enquiring minds want to know.... who is going to win the Axe?

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

                   You're a POET and don't KNOW IT. 

[Mooseherder]

Scott's mention of Dragnet reminded me of an all time classic. :D

Speaking of stories about axes....quite a few years ago Price Chopper grocery stores had a logo with a hatchet imbedded into a coin simulating their name...Price CHOPPER!  I think I the coin was a cartoon Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, so the axe appeared to be stuck into the head of a woman.  I think some women's abuse associations complained and the company changed the logo due to the pressure applied.  Not that I'm into violence against women.  I can assure you I'm not.  But since I never associated the logo with that issue, I thought it just another sign of our times and smiled.  Just another axe tale.  Maybe I could buy some axe tail soup from them!

[Jeff]

Did Some Diggin.

[doctorb]

As always, thanks boss!

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

  Maybe I could buy some axe tail soup from them!

You're splitting my side now.... :D :D :D

[Texas Ranger]

You were axing for it.

[doctorb]

Woke up this morning, and we've reached a new century mark for the axe!!!

[doctorb]

I couldn't resist.....sorry.

There once was a Michigan man,
Up in the U.P. in his stand,
Though baiting he'd try,
Not a bear did he spy,
But they left their big piles on his land.

[Texas Ranger]

Seems we have a poet laureate, or is that lariat, on board.  Possible lariat, given enough rope, we hang our selves.

[Jeff]

Holy Cats!  Are those last bids because we wrote some limericks or because we stopped?  :D

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Holy Cats!  Are those last bids because we wrote some limericks or because we stopped?  :D

Because you stopped.  :D

[beenthere]

And a couple days to go to learn how much higher and who will win the bid.  8)

Here's the trend....

I was going to join in don't ya know
But I'm sure to the woodshed I would go
When all I could rhyme
Were words filthy like swine
I just didn't wanna go down that road
