P-Soup Is Down

P-Soup is down It's the end of the world Armageddon is here My head's in a whirl More than five minutes It's not back as yet Got a nervous tick There's sweat on my neck Can't go through a day Without my fix Someone please help me Going to be sick Glad it's not often But once is too many Sure need my Soup friends Worth many pretty pennies May think I'm hyper And just can't relax Though it's possibly true It don't help me, this fact Hey I think it came back Well hang out the flags Just in time coz this body Was starting to sag © Jack Ellison 2013

Good one Jack, back in 2012 I took a long break after Linda and I got in a big argument. We hardly spoke, I would log on to the soup only to run and close contest. Now, I wish I was active that year I posted 4 poems. The good thing is, no one forgot about me. I still received a wonders amount of comments and views while I was on the down low. I love this place. But, the day it goes down. I think I'll be okay with that. This place is run by vampires... LOL, can't you tell. :-) . Love ~SKAT~

A praise in disguise, as we all, can't live without soup

A morning without you and Dragon would go crazy... me, too. Where else would Dragon get his attention from... Dragon's cringing in the corner, just thinking about it... That's OK Dragon... I'm here, and you still have your penguins... What'd you mean... I don't count... Silly Dragon!

If I do that he'll get the hickups... Not good! One second thought, I'll get my fire retardent suit on, but I think a talk will do... and a reminder that I buy the barbecue sauce... LOL

Could only handle two days at the most... then they'd have to put me in chains so I wouldn't break things and do harm to myself! LOL Hugs, Jack xoxox
