Every once in a while, someone asks me why I've never tried my hand at poetry. I think you'll see the answer once you read this.

Long, long ago, in "Son of Drabble," a situation arose in which Turnbull wore a matador costume (Alanna's fault, not mine -- I'm responsible for the tequila, but not the costume). Let's not get into the whys and wherefors of *that*, though ... I just like to periodically remind people of it. And Jenn gets credit for the title.

OLE!

It's the story
Of a Dragon Lady
Who lusted after Mounties every day
But the object
Of her affection
Just didn't want to play

It's the story
Of a guy named Turnbull
Who led a secret life all in his head
He had a matador
Hat with tassles
And a shining cape of red

Turnbull wore his costume one day for the Lady
She said, "Turnbull, I never thought of you
And yes, I will become your lover,
Although I realize that you'll never have a clue"

And TDL
Said "What the hell,
A matador will surely please me very well."
