I am the Grand Poobah
Top-Level Bubba Deluxe
Rower of boats and
Driver of trucks

Writer of poems
Singer of songs
Master of duct tape
Righter of wrongs

Maker of jerky
Joker with words
Sassy but still classy
Flipper of birds

Professional smart-ass
Drinker of beer
Liquor in the front
Poker in the rear

  2. Thanks for flipping all those birds. I've witnessed those poor helpless little feathered friends along the road, upside down. Quite an epidemic, really. Thanks for your civic duty, you Grand Poohbah, you.

  3. A 55 sure to make Fred Flintstone jealous! lol You are the Grand Poobah and, as far as we know, you don't have that annoying The Great Gazoo calling you dumb-dumb all the time. Awesome lyrical-punchline at the end.

  15. HA! I'm now flashing on Joxer the Mighty. And as adam says, those poetic last lines are just classic. I'm filled with a strange sense of deja vu, as if I'd heard them in a past life--or passing out in a saloon, or something.

  21. So you took over for Ralph Kramden? You also set off a string of poetic responses in the comments here, great wit for a "Master of Duct Tape" and a Top-Level Bubba Deluxe.
