Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

A Gol Dang Nervous Twitch

Today's a busy busy bustling day
Three days before the big one
A bunch of last minute stuff to take care of
Wonder if I'll ever be done

Panic has a real tight hold on me
Did I buy enough cranberry sauce
Is the turkey big enough for all these folks
Got my toes and fingers crossed

Hope the weather certainly holds out
Could be more of that freezing rain
If it does get real bad, it's better to cancel
Driving can be a dangerous game
 
Well here's hoping it all runs smoothly
And all goes off without a hitch
Seems I developed a strange new affliction
It's a gol dang nervous twitch

Carol Eastman December 23, 2013 at 8:07 AM Jack! Jack! Jack! It's Cathie that's getting the twitch! She probably needs her shoulders, and neck rubbed... to releive the tention from the stress... Do you get sympathic pains?... LOL... My washer parts won't be here for a week... And Hubby is spending a week in training with tests to retrain him for the next project.... I guess we're all sharing that wealth... so to speak.... But we're having fun with Dragon warming our feet. The secret is fire retardant booties... And he warms our cocoa. Jack Ellison December 23, 2013 at 8:26 AM YA! Maybe that's it, "sympathy pains"!!! I'll go with that... XOX
