A Wee Bit Off Keel

Okay! Time to get off the weather kick There's lots more to write about Like how many jelly beans in a 2 quart jar If you leave all the red ones out Or why do pigs have such really flat snouts A fart that did damage to an edifice Or the last time someone went over the fall Both are considered quite perilous The biggest boob size on the planet Venus We're talking about aliens here Not the biggest chest size ever recorded But a creature with really big ears Has anyone noticed a decline in my brain power Father Time has caused it to freeze Normally I'm lucid and really coherent But recently I've been talking to bees Now that in itself is really not unusual But I tried to tickle one's tummy Got a nasty old sting on the tip of my hoohaw Medication cost lots of money Of course this is fantasy and all made up Did you really think it was real Oh oh I'm more than a wee bit concerned That you'll think I'm a wee bit off keel © Jack Ellison 2015

Dragon will believe anything Santa Jack writes! After all... Who wouldn't believe Santa Claus? Grandpa Troll liked the bee sting on the hoo haw best. He wants to know if it works as good as that little blue pill?... I just shook my head and kept reading. Then took a break in the other room... until Grandapa Troll quit rolling around on the floor laughing. Silly old Troll! He now thinks he's funnier than Santa Jack. Honestly! You 2 are like 2 peas in a pod... But Santa Jack is the better writer!

Nothing a good walk around town can't cure. Just make sure you wear your shades cuz when you look at the pretty ladies you don't want their boyfriends to know.

I love the lightness of your writing and a poem that really says nothing, but is highly entertaining anyway. Not many people could get away with aliens, bees, pigs,and hoohaws all in one write. But you do and you keep us laughing.
