C'Est La Vie

I'm forever saying, “oh well, c'est la vie” Or when I goof up I say, “t'wasn't me” Have never owned up Since I was a pup Have stayed out of trouble since I was three © Jack Ellison 2015

So that's why they say Santa Jack knows who's naughty or nice... He's had a little practice at both at least once or twice... And why his forgiveness never seems to cease... Because he was once naughty back in the times of old Greece... Tho the exact year is not very precise...

So you know a little bit of french! I was born and raised in Quebec but I moved to English Canada in 1977 and have lost most of the little French I knew!!! My family tree was English through and through! So should I call you "Ringo" Tor from now on???

This is a nice little limerick, Jack, but I'm not buying that you've been a good boy since the age of 3...lol It's better to say, c'est la vie than c'est la guerre.

ha ha, Jack. I'm often too honest for my own "good." But it keeps my conscience clear.
