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.
