Riding the Roost

Some call me prolific I call me obsessed Some say I'm a kook I say I'm blessed It's all that I think of Poems from the heart But silly damn nonsense Is still my main art Takes the same effort To make people laugh As it does to depress them To make you gasp So this here is me Just little old me A happy old duffer Filled with much glee So next time you're looking For a morning boost Check out this old Jester He'll be riding the roost © Jack Ellison 2013

A agree, Jack. It's much better to make people laugh or smile than to bring them down. Keep on being yourself! Love, Kim

Whenever my mind wanders...There you are getting in trouble, again... I think your name should be Trouble, with a capital T.... No! I'm NOT complaining... You're soo CUTE! And No, that's not an insult... Dragons can to... be cute!.. Sigh! Gotta Run!... Grandapa Troll says he'll meet me down by the lake with my coffee! LOL

I always enjoy reading your poetry every day, especially your humorous ones! They do cheer me up even if I feel really down! I can rely on you to bring a cheerful poem to bring me back up! And this write it no different, it has the awesome feel to it, a happy feel that I love to experience! What an excellent piece my friend, I love this verse, Great Work!!
