Jack Ellison Poet Couplet

A Man Among Men

Well, well, well, lookey you here
See me smiling from ear to ear

What could it be that's making me grin
Do you think I might be into the gin

Don't touch the stuff, it makes me silly
Already silly, my mind's willy-nilly

Sometimes things that come out of my mouth
Surprise even me and surely my spouse

But as I have reached these golden years
At people's opinion of me, I just sneer

Everyone should be just who they are
No matter how silly, or extreme or bizarre

I pride myself being my own man
A far cry from when my dear life began

Extremely happy with the way things turned out
Over the moon, of that there's no doubt

Once had a complex way back when
But now I'm a real man among men

Well, well, well, looky you here
See me smiling from ear to ear
