Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Early Bird Special

Heard that the early bird catches the worm
By now I should have a real big batch
I'm always up at the crack of dawn
With a feeling of exhilaration unmatched

Joyfully welcoming that big yellow ball
Singing some happy little ditty
Even if I won a million dollars in the lotto
Couldn't be happier, well maybe an itsy bitsy

Wish everybody could feel this amazing joy
The world would be a much happier place
No wars no conflict just pure sweet love
Wearing a perpetual smile on your face

Seems like forever I've been called a dreamer
I wouldn't want it any other way
Just can't imagine how some people feel
Wearing a sad frown every day

Heard that the early bird catches the worm
Well I certainly believe that it's true
Just start every day with a happy little song
And the sun will shine brightly on you

Carol Eastman March 2, 2013 at 7:57 AM I'm up BEFORE the crack of dawn. It's an animal conspiracy. The cats and dogs climb all over the bed... to get an earlier yum yum for breakfast. But I just roll back over and they settle down for another freaking fifteen minutes! We don't need alarm clocks around here and the fifteen minutes is enough to get myself going. As I get up its like sharks circling their prey... I call them my little land sharks... LOL Carol Eastman March 2, 2013 at 7:15 PM 3 Dogs( 86lb, 76lb. 57lb), two cats and one small beta fish named Whale. Jack Ellison March 2, 2013 at 1:35 PM "its like sharks circling their prey" we dog sit sometimes so I know exactly what you mean! LOL How many pets do you have anyway? Love ya, dear Carol lady... hugs, Jack xxx

Judy Konos March 2, 2013 at 7:15 AM Joy comes from the Soul Within....... thank you .... Jack Ellison March 2, 2013 at 1:33 PM Then I must have a really joyous soul! Love and big big hugs, Jack xox

Toquyen Harrell March 2, 2013 at 7:05 AM I do believe that joy is coming from God. You can't force yourself if you don't feel joy. If one does not have it, just ask Him. Great poem as usual, Jack. I do love the morning but getting out of bed is hard to do :) Jack Ellison March 2, 2013 at 1:31 PM I wake up and can't wait to see what exciting things are going to happen... yee haw! I DO have some down days but very few! Hugs, Jack xox

Russell Sivey March 2, 2013 at 5:31 AM I sometimes get up before the sun, but usually it greets me before I wake, but coming up is daylight savings time and it gets even darker in the morning so I will beat the sun for a little while anyways! I am envious of those that can wake up with such energy, I must fight my way out of bed then try and stay awake all during the morning it seems like! Unless something phenomenal is happening that day, you never know what that could be! Sometimes the Soup can wake me up! You have done Great Work! Jack Ellison March 2, 2013 at 1:29 PM I've always and forever been a morning person. Love those fresh sunny summer mornings... they're COMING! Am I rushing things a bit d'ya think? LOL
