Cyber Sister and Brother

Started writing poetry then joined Poetry Soup When submitting a poem I’m really cock a hoop Have a cyber brother I did meet on line Think he's quite amazing his poetry's divine He said one day we were separated at birth His comment amused me and filled me with mirth Soon was confirmed we certainly were twins Both write silly poetry and both have hairy chins My cyber sister Jan started my big old heart a-ticking Since entering my life it's sure been a-clicking Wake up each morning can't wait for sister Jan Even check my inbox before going to the can She never disappoints though we're an ocean apart Start's my motor racing, got a hold of my heart Haven't figured out why I deserve such a friend Separated at birth we'll be friends to the end Noticed on some comments people call him ‘Kenny’ He’d love to sing with Dolly – I guess he’s one of many Jack and Dolly’s greatest hits I see it in my mind But Cathie said no, I guess she’s being real kind From Jack’s picture, think he’s more like a Santa We get on great as bro and sis with much silly banter I’m so very fortunate to find my cyber brother If I had to choose one I couldn’t wish for another It's a well known fact, Brits lack a sense of humour Sister Jan sure puts a kibosh on that silly rumour She makes me cackle and wet my pantaloons Sometimes I snort like a silly old buffoon At my ripe old age of fifty-eight plus twenty Things don't work well, I have heartburn a plenty But the heartburn I have is caused by my love For dear sister Jan's given my heart a big shove Collaboration between J Allison and J Ellison © Jack Ellison 2014

Bravo! You two did great. Dragon and I want to be some of the first to congratulate you on your collaboration... Jack and Jan went up the hill to fetch a pail of water... but what they got was fun and games... as celebrities they surely became... happily ever after... LOL... Well Dragon and I tried... I think we need some more work... yet.... Oh Oh... You guys might start a trend...

Hope you don't mind me responding Andrea. Thanks for the lovely comments - we had fun sending soup mails between us as we both have a silly sense of humour - couldn't wish for a better cyber brother. Hugs Jan xxx

First time writing in collaboration with another poet. Great fun! Started out calling each other cyber sister and brother because of the similarity of our names! Developed into a great loving friendship! WOOHOO! Glad you liked it Andrea! Loving hugs, Jack XOX
