A Happy Old Bird

Hello you sweeties and you guys too Hope you all have a fantastic day It's the fervent wish I wish every day Us Soupers must stay close I say Support each other when we feel down We're all susceptible to this quirk Always look on the bright side of life Don't worry if it's only a smirk Gotta start somewhere, maybe a smirk Soon you'll be giggling away Greeting everyone with a cheery hello Wishing them a sunshiny day Attitude's the key, gotta think positive To get through our daily routine You guys help put a smile on my face When your names pop up on my screen Want you to know how much you mean I'd be lost without your kind words So a hug and a kiss to all you sweet peeps You make me a happy old bird © Jack Ellison 2014

Dragon's happy! Grandpa Troll is giving him his breakfast. I'm a Happy old bird cause Jack is happy again! Our Mama and Papa Hawks are Happy old birds since they left their dim witted son Junior in our back yard! Junior can't catch any of the birds I feed. He caught a squirrel once, but it clawed up his bottom. He spent 2 days soothing his behind in our birdbath! Watching him swish his bottom back and forth in the bird bath was hilarious... Poor Junior! He happily catches mice now. Good choice!

I'm glad you, happy old bird, are here on the Soup, we would be lost without your kindness and your positive outlook in life, you make us all quite happy with your pleasant compliments and kindness! I surely loved your awesome poem here this evening! What a grandiose piece, Great Work!!
