Reliving Those Special Moments

If it wasn't for the old Poetry Soup Keeping my brain active and alive I'd be a candidate for an old folks home My mind is in overdrive Still got lots to say and do Before my final day of departure This old world should sit up and take notice And that is just for starters My brain is literally bursting apart Waiting to share what I've learned Mistakes I've made and things I did right And how my heart still yearns To relive those special moments When my life was a new adventure Those happy times while riding the crest Such a zestful joy to remember Poetry Soup allows such things To express our gratitude in rhyme For a life complete with happy memories An experience oh so sublime © Jack Ellison 2015

Don't forget the Dragon fun factor! If you want, You can borrow Dragon for the CT scan. He'll stop the doctors from lingering, cause he won't like them poking Santa Jack or bothering you when he's around. When it's time to chase the nurses, just send him to the candy machine, down the hall. Trust me! He can't figure those things out! And no one will come close enough to help him out. Give him a peanut butter sandwich when it's time for him to behave. He isn't scary with his mouth stuck shut. LOL

And if a cute young Male Nurse comes in... I tell Dragon to guard the Door. He won't llet anyone IN or OUT... SEE... Dr. visits can really be fun!

Don't worry I have visiting the Doctors down to a science... If you need any pointers on what to say to make them run away... Just let me know... As an example...My favorite comment is... Sic 'Em Dragon! Or if the Dr. is cute it's... Dragon put HIM Down now! And if I want him to stay and talk and the Doc is saying he's too busy... I say Sit on him! Works every time!...LOL

When I discovered Poetry Soup, I thought, "YESSS this is it, this is where I will have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world! And at the same time keep the old brain active so it doesn't turn to mush!!! So thankful for all my friends here... and a special thanks to you, my West Coast Man!!!

Hear-hear-hear, dear Jack, of the frozen Ontario. Your heart though burning and your spirit consuming flames resembles ready its warmth to share and its light to administer! Keep well my friend. Demetrios: the... Greek-Canadian!

My dear Greek-Canadian friend! This winter has been brutal setting new records for the depth of the freeze! You are one fortunate fellow Mr. Trifiatis! Continually in the -30F to -40F range with wind chill factored in! Grrrrrr!
