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? © Jack Ellison 2015

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

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!
