Friendships Flourish

Well cross my eyes and call me Lucy Met a young lady on the Soup She turns my crank, gets my motor a-racing For poetry I don't give a poop We should rename it “Meet A Sweetie” More appropriate don't ya think This real cutie's on my mind the whole day From her cup of nectar I drink Age doesn't matter when it's a fantasy affair Thirty years don't mean a thing As long as our cravings are satisfied each day The world continues to sing Met a real bunch of sweet ladies here Not enough digits to count 'em All I can say is my whole life's been enriched Each of these darlings is a gem So this is my way of thanking the Soup Where our creativity is nourished Making all our lives a lot more worth living And allowing friendships to flourish © Jack Ellison 2014

Dragon missed you yesterday... You can say he had a Jack (and Cathie) attack! He's a worry wart when you're gone! He paces with his tail swinging behind him... We all have to move back a little... Er.. A Lot! Dragon said yesterday proved... a day without Jack... is a day without sunshine! Er... Dragon there was no sun cause it' was raining! No! It didn't stop raining cause Jack's back! But he does give us a silver lining and rainbow... ARG! No! he's not a witch or elf! Honestly!
