Tickety Boo

For the very first time in my whole long life Things are sailing along tickety boo Don't ever remember a time quite like this On top of the world cuz of you You've turned my world all topsey turvey Loving it, as happy as it gets Been sailing along on cloud number nine Haven't quite gotten over it yet Probably never will and why would I want to It's the greatest feeling known to man This tickety boo feeling, this feeling of love There's nothing to match this élan If you think that it's some great formula I'd simply say look in your heart Everyone possesses this ability to find love The heart's the best place to start For the very first time in my whole long life Things are sailing along tickety boo! © Jack Ellison 2013

WOW! Dragon and I affect you like that? Quick Cathie... Call the Paddy Wagon... He's gone over the Deep End! LOL! Naw,We don't ring any bells... Well, Dragon does at church... They gave him one outside to ring, especially after that time he got stuck in their bellfry... They'll only let him in now... if he's turned into a dragon fly... He's sooo lovable that way... And no fire... LOL... Those church people were smart in that decree... I tried to convince him to stay that way. He said NO. Darn!
