Back To My Roots

Laura has inspired me to go back to the beginning And write like I did at the start About life, and love, and the passions we share Bout the roles we all play a part Limericks are a lot of fun and so easy to write But it's time to return to my roots Going back and reading my earlier compositions Has really inspired me to reboot Honestly have enjoyed my long run of limericks Providing many giggles and guffaws The time has come to get back to my story telling Though I'm still addicted to applause Sure don't mean to sound arrogant or egotistical That's not what I'm trying to say Got so much inside, just bursting to get out Quatrains provide me the way So Laura, I thank you for inspiring me to write Bout life, love and passion we share But trust me, the limericks are alive and well As for Depends, wear an extra pair © Jack Ellison 2015

I've got to say, I'm really really excited about this, Jack! I think we are all looking forward to your upcoming work. Plus your audience is growing it seems.. I love both your Limericks and Quatrains! I admire your humor and optimism - you've heard me say it, and I'll say it again: I LOVE YOU!!! Always, Laura

Ahhh... This is where we love you the best... But there is a time to pig out on Limmericks, too. Which ever you choose Dragon, Hubby, and I are with you 100%.

This being the first of your writings I've been able to read. I'd like to know more of your roots. I would include I'd like a moment to absorb this poem however the whole depends thing warns me to avoid that reference in any way. Great write!! :) A 7. God Bless you sir.
