Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

Cured of My Sillies

Enough of this silliness, this one's more serious

What am I saying, I'm becoming delirious

Best see a doctor, got a strange kind of malady

Hope it's not going to affect my mortality

Now let's not be silly, it's just a wee glitch

Be back with the sillies, though I'm starting to twitch

What if my serious side has turned off for good

Whenever I try, I'll smell burning wood

A chill just came over my Adonis-like body

I shudder and shake and start thinking naughty

Okay I promise to try a couple more times

Not promising nuttin', from this very strange mind

Last vestiges of a smile I've tried to erase

Solemn and serious taking over my face

Are you buying my attempt to convince you I've changed

You're not buying it, still think I'm deranged?

To convince you, here's my medical report

“Cured of the sillies, but needs your support!”

Carol Eastman January 31, 2015 at 9:59 AM Are you becoming serious like Dragon? Do you, too, want to become a Super Hero. Feel the urge that the mail must get thru? Don't worry! It's those crazy Wheaties, again! It's a govt conspiracy to keep our countries strong. Just eat them up, they wind you up, and a Super Hero you become! Can't say for other cereals, but think fortified is their power juice... The only support you'll be needing... is like Dragon... to help get you back to the ground! Not everybody reacts this way, so have a hoot! Jack Ellison January 31, 2015 at 6:02 PM Yes Momma! I'm eating my Wheaties but the only thing that's strong is my breath! LOL xoxoxox

Tim Smith January 31, 2015 at 9:49 AM You are cured of the sillies but I think you might have caught the giddies, the slap happys, the punch-drunkenness, the ridiculousness, the goofy's, wackies and a side of the zanies. Jack Ellison January 31, 2015 at 6:08 PM Dear Eve, this a message from both Tim and I... both of us apples love you to bites!!!!
