Notes About The Poem

Old Billy

OLD BILLY

There once was an old shark named Billy
Billy was considered quite silly
Ate anything in sight
Until one fateful night
He saw a mermaid oh so frilly

And decided to eat  mermaid stew
Washed down with a great saltwater brew
But he let out a groan
She was made out of stone
Now old Billy can no longer chew

Rob Carmack Date: 8/7/2019 10:48:00 PM LOL, saw the title and had to see if it was about Billy Baroo. Congrats on your win. Login to Reply Rob Carmack Date: 8/8/2019 10:06:00 PM Billy Baroo was a special putter in the movie 'Caddyshack'. They have clips of the scene on Youtube. That is neat that you had a teacher with my name, this is the first I have seen or heard of someone with my name. Curtis Moorman Date: 8/8/2019 7:15:00 AM Rob, thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your support. I'm not familiar with Billy Baroo, but by coincidence, I had a school teacher whose name was Robbie Carmack. She was one of our favorites. I'm from Dublin, Georgia and I graduated in 1963. Mrs. Carmack was in her mid 50's at that time. Just thought I'd share that with you since your name is Rob. Thanks again for your support.
