Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Body Parts

Cheeks were meant for kissing
Hands were meant for holding
Ears were meant for listening
Arms were meant for folding

Eyes were meant for ogling
Mouths were meant for stuffing
Hair was meant for brushing
Cheeks were meant for blushing

Minds were for manipulating
Knees were meant for kneeling
Bums were meant for bumming around
Thoughts for disagreeing

Feet were meant for walking
Palms were for reading the future
Toes were meant for counting
Common sense is for avoiding bloopers

Tongues were meant for wagging
Sores were meant for rubbing
Eyebrows were meant for raising
But hearts my very very good friends

Hearts were meant for loving

Carol Eastman December 12, 2013 at 1:53 PM Dragon bedazzled 'I <3 U' on Baby Jesus's swaddling clothes... Apparently, everyone plans to come back for tonight's performance to see what he's up to next. And the other actors love him! He snores puffs of hot air their way... The Rapid Response Turtle Team are playing the part of the 4 wise men... 3 are the normal wisemen... The 4th has a fire extinguisher... And has a few extra extinguishers behind his back (in case they are needed) Kinda gives a new spin on the nativity... Don't you think? Jack Ellison December 12, 2013 at 2:49 PM Wish I could attend... tell him to break a leg! Well you know... not literally! XOXOXOX
