H-Less Jon

Found a new friend, his name is Jon Asked him, 'where the heck is your H?' He tried to recall and seemed to remember There was a shortage in 1938 Parents failed to put their order in on time So Jon was basically out of luck His H has been missing ever since then Poor guy it really must suck Imagine all the times people have asked him Likely driving him out of his beano Certainly can't be blamed for a tirade or two Heard he's heavily into the vino Strange how a small thing like a missing H Can affect one's psyche to the core If you happen to have an extra H lying around He'll pay a big bunch of moolah I'm sure Found a new friend, his name is Jon... © Jack Ellison 2012

Funny! Is "Jack" short for "John?" Seems some parents forgot what they named their sons and just started calling them 'Jack!'

Have heard since I was a wee snort! However, in my case, not true! My real name is Charles, strangely enough, my nickname is Jack and all I'm ever called or known by! Now you know the rest of the story! LOL Hugs and much love, Jack xxx

I am not a pro on any form of poetry but...I know when I read a poem if I have enjoyed it. Now I have read yours and I have indeed enjoyed it Jack. I wish you a wonderful weekend and hope you find much inspiration to continue with your writing endeavors. Love, Carol

My Dad grew up in the 30's and 40's so I've heard a lot about the way of live and shortages since I've been here with him as he's been talking about the past. Our topics always seem to be in tune between us... It's amazing when that happens... Say hi to Cathy for me. Your friend... Carol PS. I usually read your poems to my Hubby, but at the moment am reading them to my Dad... You brighten him up with laughter.
