Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

A Row of Beans

Finally getting back into the swing of it

Holidaying in the Dominican for a week

Sure did wonders for my psyche

Appreciating what I have a whole lot more

Aside from the absolutely gorgeous

All-inclusive resort we stayed in

Living conditions there were sad to see

But in spite of it all, Dominicans have a lust for life

The smallest thing makes them smile

A great big wide sparkling smile!

Was I impressed? You can bet your sweet bippy I was!

We uptight North Americans could learn a lot from them

About what's REALLY important in life

As long as we have loved ones who care

Everything else just amounts to a row of beans!
