Jack Ellison Poet Free verse

Absolutely Bizarre

There's no greater joy in this old world

than the love of another human being

be they man or woman, it matters not one iota

the feeling is the same to this old guy

of course, I'm leaning heavily towards

the female version of the species, oo-la-la!

they surely turn my old crank and spin my spinner

even curl my afro down below!!!

Nothing compares I say... nothing...

ABSOLUTELY BIZARRE!!!

Since I was born, even the most obscure and yet

an undiscovered creature with six eyes

still instills great wonderment and intrigue

we never stop searching for the newly discovered

the exciting new inventions man has created

or the magical, amazing world of nature

man has only scratched the surface

what awaits us is beyond what we know today

unfortunately, I'm at the age that the exciting 

new world of tomorrow is beyond my limitations

promise, you younger folks, to take care

and enjoy all the exciting new world ahead...

Happy Jack wishing you all a happy journey!!!
