Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

29,200 Days

29,200 days
I have lived on this Planet Earth
And at some point during each of those days
It was given over to mirth

Guess you could say I'm a contented person
With more than my share of happy
Why me? I have often asked
How come I'm so slap happy

Is it just a roll of the dice
That determines which path we travel
Or at some point do we look at things
And say, in humour I'd like to dabble

Whatever the reason, whatever the cause
I've ended up sending out sillies
Had more than my share of happiness stuff
Guess that's why I'm a silly-billy

29,200 days
That's a humongous amount of days
But it's not a family record
One sister lived 34,310, aren't you amazed?

Laura Breidenthal September 1, 2015 at 5:32 AM You are the optimistic philosopher it seems with many a wise word to share. I really do love reading these types of poems of yours. I learn more about the man I have really come to admire and respect. You will live forever! Always, Laura Jack Ellison September 1, 2015 at 5:51 AM YOU ARE THE SWEETEST DEAREST LAURA!!! I am so blessed to know you, my love! Love, Jack xxx

Carol Eastman August 9, 2015 at 11:07 AM We all have choices You made the BEST-EST choice EVER! Dragon's best choice is his glitter and eye shadow color. All his other choices just seem to get him in trouble! But life would get boring without his choices. you know! And the town is in summer tourist mode and enjoy Great New Days! They now have a Tee Shirt Shop Down Town. Their greatest seller says "I Survived Dragon". Can't imagine why? And the Tee Shirts are collector items if they get a few Dragon singes or a paint paw mark! Really! Jack Ellison August 9, 2015 at 4:55 PM Next time I see you, I want one of those T-shirts! xxx
