Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

A Different Mickey and Minnie

Mickey and Minnie were lovers
Not ones you're thinking about, my friends
Mickey Swartz and Minnie O'Malley
A pairing they had to defend

Got married just a little while ago
To the dismay of the people they knew
From a couple of totally different cultures
Had the blessings of only a few

Why does it matter and create such a furor
Isn't the most important thing love
Love conquers all, that's what matters most
Other judgements, we should rise above 

Aware this is quite a controversial subject
Not everyone agrees with my stance
What I say is “live and let live”
No matter how we put on their pants

We're all apart of the HUMAN race
Though we don't all use the same tongue
Please give Mickey and Minnie your blessing
No matter what background they're from

Mustapha Mohammed September 3, 2013 at 4:07 AM Live and let live. I totally agree Jack. Jack Ellison September 3, 2013 at 5:49 AM "We're all apart of the HUMAN race" This gets lost in the turmoil we are constantly being bombarded with every day!

Carol Eastman September 2, 2013 at 10:51 AM Congratulations Micky and Minnie... Not just Humans... Also Dragons, Trolls, penguins... and miscelaneous forest folk... Not to mention Troll Lake Town! ... Tho the Mary River Turtles don't wear pants... More like swimming trunks... And the penguins have to use suspenders. They're sooo cute!... But Dragons have to be fire proof...LOL Jack Ellison September 2, 2013 at 11:12 AM Hmmm... penguins in suspenders! Wouldn't that be a great image for your cover? A while ago, I put together a number of my poems in an attempt get a publisher to buy into it. It was entitled, "If Beavers Wore Pants!" Didn't go anywhere! Good luck with yours... are you going to self publish? Say hello to your gang... warm hugs, Jack xoxox
