Jack the Jester

Jack the Jester some people call me Quite hard living up to at times But if you keep reading, I'll write some sillies To help you forget winter's signs Join the army... visit exotic places Meet strange people, then kill them I'd really like to help you out, dear friend Which way did you come in They say beauty is in the eye of the beer holder A truer word was never uttered It's amazing I can still come up with these gems My poor brain is really cluttered To all you virgins out there, thanks for nothing This one sure gave me a giggle It's good we have this fancy computer thingy You'd never decipher my squiggles You laugh because you think I'm different I laugh because I just farted Change is good but dollars are much better Now do you see what you started © Jack Ellison 2014

Dragon thinks beauty's in the eye of those who behold him, but his mind is definitely cluttered by the bling of those bedazzled gems!... To Dragon Change may be good, but bedazzles are way better still! Now see what you started! It's another Dragon attack! Beware our 'Jack the Jester' for Dragon gobbles up... words like they're a snack! Sorry I wasn't here yesterday. Grandpa Troll helped me out of the Grocery store. I had a passing out attack. Don't worry, It's better than 'a passing on' attack!

Methinks I shouldn't have included the first two lines of the second stanza! Oh well! "like a spider ran over the page"... I used to have pretty good penmanship! Then I got old! Love ya girl! Big hugs, Jack XOXOX

Yee-Haw, look at the wheels turning within that fine little head of yours! You have begun the sillies once again my friend, how fun this will be! Actually I really loved reading this last stanza the best, it brought to me the greatest chuckle this morning! What a harmonious piece, Great Work!!
