Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Fast Food Junkie

I know we shouldn't overeat
And junk food's a definite no-no
But I admit I'm a fast food junkie
Who cares if my big belly shows

Don't dance for nobody anymore
That's silly stuff's gone forever
People either like me for who I am
Or bite me, I mean... whatever!

Happy as hell in my bountiful skin
Not trying to impress the ladies
Content to just sit and eat myself silly
Nothing underhanded or shady

“Silly old man” I heard someone say
But I'm nearing the end of the road
Allow me this pleasure before I depart
My cravings are on overload!

Carol Eastman April 4, 2013 at 8:32 AM My greatest sin is Taco Bell... (I think that's where the dragon gets his hot sause, too.) We all have some thing in common... He's splashed the hot sause all over my new Easter sneakers... Dumb old Dragon... So I splashed some on his beloved tail... You should have seen the look on his face... It was priceless... Jack Ellison April 4, 2013 at 8:53 AM Aw yes... "Soft Taco Supreme" yummy yum yum! Have a super duper pooper of a day! xox

Poet Tacito April 4, 2013 at 8:25 AM Splendid writing! I eat a cheeseburger in your honor! Jack Ellison April 4, 2013 at 8:50 AM I am deeply honoured and humbled my friend, thank you! LOL

Russell Sivey April 4, 2013 at 7:08 AM Ha ha, I know what you mean with this poem! You can go crazy with junk food if you are not careful, it's better to eat an orange than a Hostess snack! You have written a fabulous and delightful write my friend! Even though I desire junk food as well I must be strong and keep from them just like you (at least what you are doing now)! What a powerful and hilarious piece here Jack, Great Work!! Jack Ellison April 4, 2013 at 7:15 AM Dropped about 50 pounds since last June so junk food is definitely off the list. However, occasionally I succumb to the urge! My weakness is Taco Bell! LOL
