Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Food, Food, Glorious Food

Food, food, glorious food
Eating is such a wonderful thing
No matter what time of day it is
Wolfing down makes my dear heart sing

Why I get out of bed each day
The smell of bacon frying away
Follow my proboscis to the kitchen
Where Cathie's prepares brekkie each day

It's that oh so heavenly smell
Footsies don't even touch the floor
Gliding down the stairs like a nymph
So enthralled like many mornings before

I sit down and dear dear Cathie
Serves me brekkie that's fit for a king
Burst out with, “What a Beautiful Morning”
As we both raise our voices and sing

A delightful scene, albeit unusual
It's how we Ellisons start off the morn
Singing and dancing and kissing and stuff
Makes me so overjoyed to be born

Food, food, glorious food
Eating is such a wonderful thing
No matter what time of day it is
Wolfing down makes my dear heart sing

Donna Jones March 5, 2014 at 7:16 PM Ahh wonderful! Wish I could ship ya some of my farm fresh brown eggs to go with that bacon..:-) :-) Jack Ellison March 5, 2014 at 7:23 PM What is the difference between brown and white... they taste the same! Is it something to do with nutrition or something? Always wondered! XOXOX

She lived in Nuneaton for a year about 30 years ago! Hmmm 5 hours time difference so you'll be getting ready for beddie byes! Sleep tight sis XOXOX

Carol Eastman March 5, 2014 at 11:39 AM Yep! Dragon! Bacon gets all Dragons to breakfast faster than anything else! Even when we close the kitchen door tight. He can still smell it. We give him the first serving. No one is dumb enough to get between Dragon and his bacon! To stay ahead of him. We microwave some from the day before. Don't want him to help us by hurrying things along. No one likes charcoal bacon! Silly Dragon! Controlling his cooking fire early in the morning before a few BIG mugs of chocolate...is not Dragon's thing! Jack Ellison March 5, 2014 at 4:25 PM Ahhh! The smell of bacon,,, is there anything more yummy! Methinks not... XOXOX

Charmaine Chircop March 5, 2014 at 7:00 AM Today We celebrate the first day of lent on the isle and one of the things I dont have today is meat..So you might imagine what a yearning I have to come in the Ellisons kitchen and steal their bacon : ).The title reminds me of Oliver Twist's song..B-).A yummy poem ..My sacrifice counts twice nw. Jack Ellison March 5, 2014 at 7:06 AM No problem for me though, eat very little meat anyway! Chicken mostly! Absolutely love hearing from you my sweet friend from Malta! Major big squeezy hugs and a ton of love! XOX

Paul Callus March 5, 2014 at 6:02 AM Hi Jack...what a nice way to be greeted in the morning...the aroma of a fried breakfast and a feeling of love in the air. Like the way you express yourself, a happy song from a happy man on a full stomach :) // paul Jack Ellison March 5, 2014 at 6:13 AM Eating is a hobby of mine! In the last year or so, started eating more sensibly and exercising... lost 50 lbs.! Since then, gained back 25! It's called yo-yo dieting! LOL
