Cyber Sister and Brother Collaboration J Allison J Ellison

Started writing poetry then joined Poetry Soup When submitting a poem I’m really cock a hoop Have a cyber brother I did meet on line Think he's quite amazing his poetry's divine He said one day we were separated at birth His comment amused me and filled me with mirth Soon was confirmed we certainly were twins Both write silly poetry and both have hairy chins Cyber sister Jan started my big old heart a-ticking Since entering my life it's sure been a-clicking Wake up each morning can't wait for sister Jan Even check my inbox before going to the can She never disappoints though we're an ocean apart Start's my motor racing, got a hold of my heart Haven't figured out why I deserve such a friend Separated at birth we'll be friends to the end Noticed on some comments people call him ‘Kenny’ He’d love to sing with Dolly – guess he’s one of many Jack and Dolly’s greatest hits I see it in my mind But Cathie said no, guess she’s being real kind From Jack’s picture, think he’s more like a Santa We get on great as bro and sis with much silly banter I’m so very fortunate to find my cyber brother If I had to choose one couldn’t wish for another It's a well known fact, Brits lack a sense of humour Sister Jan sure puts a kibosh on that silly rumour She makes me cackle and wet my pantaloons Sometimes I snort like a silly old buffoon At my ripe old age of fifty-eight plus twenty Things don't work well, I have heartburn a plenty But the heartburn I have is caused by my love My dear sister Jan gives my heart a big shove ~ Collaboration Poem by J Allison & J Ellison written for contest sponsored by Jared Pickett

Dear Jan, I'm am so sorry to hear about your father, so I wanted to read your co-write with Jack and offer some support. The British people I've known have been anything but cold. You and Jack write very well together and I love your poem. If there's anything I can do to give you some peace during this terrible time, just know that I am here for you. God bless you and your family. Love, Carolyn
