Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Don'T Mess With My Brain

Snowing again, this is unbelievable
When is it going to end
This winter of so much discontent
What happened to the warming trend

Heard our ice cap is melting rapidly
Is that not just a natural cycle
As this old earth normally evolves
Does it affect us guy's survival

Here's my opinion for what it's worth
It's as natural as all the seasons
No need getting into a real big flap
We'll survive as we have for eons

A simple old man just bumming along
Like the last seventy-eight years
Don't mess with my brain, that's silly stuff
Gonna down another ten beers

Demetrios Trifiatis March 13, 2014 at 8:46 AM The winter of 1970-1971 was a terrible one Saint Lawrence river was frozen till mid-June! Be brave my friend you have overcome so many winters and you will this one survive! Cheers! Have couple more beers, Spring is around the corner! Jack Ellison March 13, 2014 at 4:50 PM Remember it well... lived there then! Also remember the FLQ and the murder of Pierre Laporte and kidnapping of James Cross! An eventful year! Just wondering which corner you mean!!! LOL

Carol Eastman March 13, 2014 at 8:31 AM I tell Dragon that each morning. Don't Mess With My Brain! He certainly knows better, you know, before my first cup of JOE! As for the melting ice cap! Well the glaciers are forming here! We had one day of 80 degrees! Thought summer was on the way. Was mistaken! That was summer here and gone! Oh well! As I always say! Enjoy it before it is really gone! Don't worry Jack, It's old Mother Nature playing with your brain. She does that some times, you know! After Dragon taught her all his games. Jack Ellison March 13, 2014 at 4:51 PM Old Mother Nature needs a talking to! LOL XOX

Russell Sivey March 13, 2014 at 7:37 AM Oh no! ANOTHER ten beers! How many have you had, ha ha! YES I hate the snow, I've had enough! Have you reached record levels of snow this year? We have reached the second highest amount of snow ever for a winter! I hate this winter, it's not just the snow, it's that bitter cold, and wind! Well, this poem exemplifies exactly how I feel about this winter too my friend! I surely enjoyed reading this truthful poem here this morning! What a glorious piece, Great Work!!
