Long Live the Sillies

Enough is enough of this seriousness Back to the sillies where I belong Here's something to ponder, my friends Why is the word 'abbreviation' so long I don't usually have to think twice Before giving it a second thought You're schizophrenic? That makes four of us Skydiving is good to the last drop Have you heard that gravity is a myth In reality, it's the Earth that sucks Did you know old people have a secret That secret is known as luck You know you have a small apartment When Kellogg's Coco Pops echo Maybe our world is another planet's hell Sure wouldn't surprise me to know Why do psychics have to ask you your name Going to live forever... so far so good I adore you more than beans and rice If I could love you more I would They say, hard work pays off in the future I say, laziness pays off now Some sage advice, never ever stand close To the back end of a cow All those who believe in psycho kinesis Will you please raise my hand People usually wind up in a prone position While involved in a one night STAND What happens if you get scared to death twice What do sheep count to help them sleep Ever wonder why all blackboards are green Do birds shake wings when they greet © Jack Ellison 2014

Well, my hubby thinks I am - I am not so sure bless him he's easily satisfied lol. If you haven't already read 'Just Desserts' and 'lettuce Pray' then please give them a read I think they will make you giggle. I have just read your poem to my hubby we were both giggling. Am so pleased I have found you brother Jack. Jan xxx

Abbreviation was written by someone with the hiccups. Dragon never gives anything a second thought, so he's always in a lurch! He loves skydiving, tho the ground doesn't seem to agree. Earth doesn't suck, It's the mud. Don't you see? Old people don't have LUCK! They've everyone knocking on their door! Cocoa Pops echo cause the rugs are out to be cleaned. We're not in Hell, we're in a dream where cataclysms rule supreme! I'd rather you adore me like a box of rocks, They last longer, you see!
