Chuckles, Giggles, and Guffaws

Chuckles, giggles and guffaws That's the only way to fly Find silliness in all everyday things Tears of joy will fill your eyes In fact if you're not careful You'll infect your fellow man Before you can say "pink panties" Lunies will be running the land Now wait a minute let me see They already are I'm afraid They resemble a flock of turkeys Look at the mess they've made We pay them scads of money To perform their comedic routine That won't change any time soon So enjoy your plate of poutine* Always look on the bright side of life Things have got to get better So why not try to enjoy yourself And just carry on unfettered © Jack Ellison 2015 (poutine – A French Canadian dish of french fries, cheese curds and brown gravy. A heart attack on a plate!!!)

Was born in French Canada (Quebec) but left about 40 years ago! Couldn't stand the politics of French versus English! Thank you once more for dropping by... you know by now how much your visits mean to me! Love, Jack xxx

You've hit the nail right on the head young Jack, although those beaurocrats think we're laughing with them, not at them - keep rolling out the giggles young Jack - Lindsay

Dragon doesn't need to chuckle, giggle, or guffaw when he flies. He doesn't fly very well when he's already concentrating REALLY hard! Poor baby has his moments tho. When the Elven King gives him a little magic he goes hog flying wild! The Elven King said not to worry. He'll fly better when he's older and his wings grow more. Hope the forest lasts that long! Those head dives are costing a lot of trees! I think that's why the Elven King keeps giving him some magic. To save the trees! Ya think?

You haven't lived until you try that famous French Canadian speciality... poutine! Probably has 3,000 calories but oh so yummy! Love, Fat Jack xxx
