Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

For Those Who Love Love

Those who love love

Put up your hands

Wow! There sure are a bunch of you guys

I knew there was a lot of you

But this is totally amazing

Saw one lady who didn't raise her hand

But she was holding a bag of groceries in one arm

And a sweet wee babe in the other

But I did hear her yell, “I do!”

So if everybody loves love

Then how come there's still so much strife

Is it because we get all wrapped up in stuff

Superficial stuff that we shouldn't give a hoot about

But because of all the negativity present

Small things tend to annoy us

And when they're all added up

They become a difficult mountain to climb

Take heart all my dear dear friends

I have the answer... attitude!

Yep, it's as simple as that so give it a shot

And let this old guy know how it works out for you!
