Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

Cantaloupes Can'T Elope

I've heard that cantaloupes can't elope

It's against their moral code

And rhubarbs are NOT allowed to argue

I've heard that people sometimes turnip and pea

Not a very classy bunch I must say!

When you give somebody a raspberry it's very rude

Had another good one but it got squashed

Gourd won't let me make fun of his name

Grapes are not allowed to gripe

Bet you're not wild about figs... that figures

If you take a leek in a supermarket

Security will beet you on the melon

When the cashier picks up that yellow fruit

It's okay to say, “that's a nice pear you have there”

If you give a horseradish, they'll spit it back at you

I don't see what they've got to grape about

Okay that one was kinda corny

Cauliflowers are pretty in the spring

Lettuce entertain you

Carol Eastman November 25, 2014 at 11:49 AM This new turn lately... to funny poems has taken a new and exciting turn... But may have the turnips nipping at your heals... Dragon and Grandpa Troll were rolling around on the floor at this one... Your are truly a Master of Hillarity... You should be teaching the experts... Yesterday I got caught up in your worm haiku and couldn't help myself... We don't drink tequila either... We actually, don't drink ANY alcohol, at all. You just wind us up. But I enjoyed the change. Jack Ellison November 25, 2014 at 1:37 PM These a-holes need to be rounded up and sent to where these lunatic suicide bombers can send them to meet their maker! It is thoroughly outrageous but an expected reaction to the inevitable decision to find the officer non guilty! I feel for you dear Carol!!! XXX Carol Eastman November 25, 2014 at 11:54 AM The Grand Jury verdict came yeaterday. 12 businesses were burned and several house fires were lite. Gun fire was heard as people defended their homes.These were never protesters... But a low criminal element wanting to show power over the police. The Governor dissappeared before it started and the REAL National Guard was not called. We were left with a MINOR token amount of help besides our own police.And they were busy defending themselves.
