Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Back To the Sillies

So here I go, back to the sillies
Jumping in with both my footsies
Clear the decks, full steam ahead
Hope I don't hurt my tootsies!

The world's my oyster as they say
I don't like that incantation
Think I'll use another term
Like the world is my crustacean!

I'm just as happy as a pig in poop
Have you never heard that before?
It's really an absolute favourite of mine
Going to use it a whole lot more!

Never know what's coming out
I just hope and pray that it's clean
Don't wanna get kicked off the lovely site
For something that's really obscene!

Which came first, the chicken or egg?
Bet you don't even have a clue
So you're not the brightest bulb in the pack
Did you ever get past grade two?

Okay! Enough of this silly nonsense
I must go lie down for a while
My oversized brain is hurting real bad
Need to get back my radiant smile!

Carol Eastman January 23, 2013 at 2:05 PM Put this poem as one of my favorites... Can't wait til my Hubby gets home to read it to him and his trolls... Snicker... Oh by the way, I sure do know how to get in trouble... I joined a new writers group and they needed a leader so I volunteered... I hope they don't discover I write HaHa poems about Trolls... Naw! I'll tell them any way... The looks on their faces will be priceless, I'm sure! Especially on the professional Lady who writes about psycoanalysis... Jack Ellison January 23, 2013 at 7:22 PM So you're the head honcho of this new writer's group! Kudos... keep us posted my dear Carol! Happy to hear you got a kick out of my silliness! Love ya! xox
