Jazz and Pizzazz

Some call me silly That may be the case But I don't have ulcers No lines on my face Dancing through life No worries no cares Live every moment With passion and flair Ain't no great mystery It's as simple as pie Trust in the future Trust in your “I” Keep moving forward With jazz and pizzazz Pay no attention To the razzamatazz So take this advice I'm offering my friend It don't take much effort Pays great dividends Some call me silly That's possibly true But happy as all get out How about you? © Jack Ellison 2013

... as all get out. That expression is as silly as "how do you do?". You certainly do have that jazz and pizzazz going for you, Jack. Variety is the spice of life (cliche I know, but it does apply).

Love it Jack...you remind me of this guy at a little local home style restaurant around here...he gives every woman young and old a piece of butterscotch candy and a smile says so they know somebody knows what they put up with.....he's there every morning I've been there for breakfast, cheering up folks....
