Life's a Grabber

Life's a grabber, ain't it? With all of its up and downs Never know what's in store Best to be a clown! Whatever life hurls at you Just laugh and giggle away Time to worry tomorrow Tomorrow's another day! This is my own philosophy Won't work for everyone Give it a whirl, let it go Kick it up, have some fun! Life will be long and happy With sunshine every day Don't worry bout the forecast Just smile and chuckle away! Life's a grabber, ain't it? Don't waste it on some frowns Click your heels, skip along Turn nasty upside down! © Jack Ellison 2014

Oh Jack! Dragon is SO literal! We had an early run without a misunderstanding to send us off. Amazing! But decided to run the track at the park! Not so good! Mr. McNasty (Sheriff of CrazyLand) saw us and stopped us making me put Dragon on his leash. At that, Dragon grabbed Mr. McNasty by the feet and turned him upside down in the air! So Not good! Cause Dragon began skipping and giggling down the track. He accidently bumped the sheriff's head on the ground when I told him to put him DOWN! Sigh!

Right there with ya, buddy. The world is so messed up, if we don't laugh, we'll just cry. It's like Jimmy Buffet says, "If we weren't all crazy, we just would go insane!"
