Ah, now that's more like it! Thank you my dear BOTF, for an excellent entry. Here's your Silver B.L.O.B. for:

Though my french-fry firing was a dud
I graduated quickly up to hard-boiled spuds
With a three-foot tube from plumbing stock
I was knocking off the pigeons on the village clock!

Wunnerful, wunnerful, wunnerful . . .
