Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Ghosts and Goblins

The world is far from being a perfect place
Pretty sure that's a well known fact
If it was, world peace would be the name of the game
Instead of killing and unprovoked attacks

It's hard to imagine what that would be like
It hasn't ever happened before
It sure would take a whole lot of getting used to
So foreign, a world without wars

What would we do with our war machine
Dismantle it and sell it for scrap
With no further wars, countries aligned as one
No need for any of that crap

 Is this old guy dreaming, did I nod off for a while
Better belt myself on the noggin
If I happen to survive for another hundred years
More likely to see ghosts and goblins

Carol Eastman March 11, 2014 at 8:59 AM Dragon loves to look scary on Halloween but kinda falls flat with his cute penguins following him all over. He's learning to spout poetry... His latest one, with more help from Grandpa Troll, is :Roses are red, violets are blue, Jack makes great poetry, and Dragon does too. And if you don't agree with every thing he says,He'll huff and he'll puff till his fire turns you red!... Really! He's a beginner but... We've got to separate those two! Grandpa Troll's sense of humor is a bit off. Honest! Jack Ellison March 11, 2014 at 11:49 AM I'd like to send encouragement to Dragon... actually never actually known a dragon poet before!!! XOXOX
