Jack Ellison Poet Limerick

An Old Mammal

Wettest summer in Ontario in the last twenty annuls
Turning quite aquatic, could swim the English Channel
That used to be a big deal
Now it's lost it's appeal
I'm really no hero, just an over-the-hill mammal

Patricia Cresswell August 14, 2017 at 9:10 AM Over what hill, where? Right behind you youngun. We have had many more boomers on one day than I can remember. Patricia Cresswell August 14, 2017 at 9:57 AM Must have been scary as heck. No wonder you are so subdued today. Jack Ellison August 14, 2017 at 9:21 AM At one point, really thought it was a tornado! Only lasted five or ten minutes, thankfully!!! xxx

Russell Sivey August 14, 2017 at 7:41 AM Do you want to swim the English Channel? I wouldn't want to, all those jellyfish, to be stung that many times would be awful! I loved your awesome poem here this morning, such a delight to see! Great Work!! Jack Ellison August 14, 2017 at 7:47 AM Way back, that used to be a challenge! Don't hear about it much these days!!!
