When I was in 6th grade, my best friend's name was Tammy Martin. We rode the bus together. One of the older boys on the bus, who she had a crush on, made up a poem and I still remember it. On that particular afternoon, I didn't laugh because she cried, but I have smiled every time thereafter when I thought of it. Mr Brown came to town Carrying a barrel of hay Tammy Martin came a fartin' and blew it all away.

Looks like you are very right Mary. Both Google & I missed it. Some of us old dogs don't know beans one could say And it appears I posted above on Mary's post when my reply was meant for Hal. Thinking mybe one of us old dogs should stay home and keep his lips buttoned.
