Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

A Big Boohoo and a Hiss

Sure like to share my innermost thoughts
Haven't yet found where they're hidden
Searched and searched but really no luck
Gonna put out a Lost Data bulletin

Sure they were there the last time I checked
But that was way back in my teens
At some point between back then and now
They're totally missing it seems

Other stuff's missing like my wavy black hair
It once was my crowning glory
It's now really thin and getting thinner
It's white for which I'm quite sorry

Heard some people age rather gracefully
That ain't the case with yours truly
As well as thin and white with some cooties
It's really unmanageable and unruly
 
Should have expected this turn of events
From a handsome young fellow to this
So I've had to accept I'm less of a charmer 
Here's a big boohoo and a hiss!

William Gray March 2, 2015 at 5:58 AM Yeh I agree Jack grow old disgracefully, its so much more fun. However, I think my family have had enough of the same old jokes. Time truly does move too fast though. Loved this piece Jack!. Kind Regards my friend.7 Jack Ellison March 2, 2015 at 6:51 AM "grow old disgracefully"... methinks you missed my point, my friend!!! LOL Or maybe you didn't... 'tis to giggle! Thanks!

Kp Nunez March 1, 2015 at 11:41 AM AM I late for the party? What was on the table? A platter of white hair? From where? Oh but Jack has perfected this style I think. putting out something to laugh at himself. There's some hidden agenda, though. Surreptitiously inserts references to his being quite handsome in his heyday! 7 for the try...lol Hugs and smiles. :D Kim Jack Ellison March 1, 2015 at 11:55 AM Big hugs and smiles back to you dear Kim! Methinks you nailed me! LOL But who knows the real Jack... I don't even know him myself! Love and hugs dear Kim, Jacko xxx

Carol Eastman February 27, 2015 at 12:00 PM I've a small bald spot on top. That I thought to hide with a blue hair extention. Dragon said Uh! Uh! No Way! Cause he doesn't want competition! Besides if I do it, people will look, and see the wrinkles I have. Where will it end, as I add make up, lipstick, and other assorted stuff! Think I'll forget about all that, and find another way. How about I take a nap to find that perfect Beauty Sleep. But it might take more sleep than, the time I've got, so you'll just have to put up with me! TEE HEE! Jack Ellison February 27, 2015 at 2:28 PM "I've a small bald spot on top"... me too but I prefer not to look! SCARY!!! xoxox

Tammy Reams February 27, 2015 at 10:42 AM Great write! This fits me to a tee. The only thing graceful for me is my walking. Age makes you slow down! Love it! Jack Ellison February 27, 2015 at 2:26 PM Thanks a bunch dear Tammy!!! Not only my walking slowing down... LOL Loving hugs, Jack xxx
