Big Old Palooker

My mood is down and utterly despondent When friend Ron doesn't show up for euchre Michelle has him running errands again Really miss that big old palooker He makes the evening a total blast With his kibitzing and strange look at things The evening ends with nary a sad face Totally ruckus good times he brings Kissed me once on the anniversary of my birth But not on the mouth I must add He's a real good friend and I like him a lot Must admit though he's sure got great abs Hey wait a minute. hang on there my friends You may have the wrong impression Both macho males at least that's what I thought It's just to teach young guys a lesson Us men should be able to be huggy and kissy Without rumours making the rounds The tabloids are hungry to dig up some dirt In our case it's totally unfound © Jack Ellison 2012

It's nice to have that sort of friend that uplifts you from despondency. Lovely one! Always, Laura

Never in my whole life had a male friend that I could relate to and show affection for until my buddy Ron. Always thought it was not manly to have those feelings for a member of the same sex... I was wrong! Huggies and kissies, Jack... and best wishes to your Dad! xox
