Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

A Most Intelligent Devil

Some think I have much wisdom
Actually wisdom comes from experience
It doesn't require any special talents
Observation is key ingredient

One only needs an inquiring mind
Just suck up the knowledge you require
Store it away to impress the younger souls
Don't tell them they too will acquire

Make them think you're a special dude
Filled to the brim with the smarts
Began with a great big sponge for a mind
Sucking up stuff from the start

So keep this wee secret betwixt you and me
So others will think I'm real special
Admire my smarts, call me Your Highness
Recognize I'm an intelligent devil

Carol Eastman January 1, 2014 at 8:46 AM The only intelligent word around here this morning was OUCH... when Dragon stomped on my foot! It was an accident, of course... He says it's my fault for sticking my foot out... Don't tell him... But it IS my fault, Because I let him stay up with the big boys last night... Now he's all bleary eyed and sleepy and won't go back to bed... But he thinks he's so COOL cause he did it! He''s tired and fussy, and trying not to misbehave so I'll let him do it again next year! Love my Silly Dragon! Jack Ellison January 2, 2014 at 9:04 AM That Dragon can be clumsy at times eh! LOL Hope no permanent damage was done! Think I'm starting to feel things for him!!! xox
