Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

Happy As Poop

My life has never been happier

I'm as happy as poop as they say

Don't know if I deserve such joy

But I'm not about to question it

For fear it might break the spell

It's easy to be overwhelmed

By all the negatives that are constantly

Going on all around the world

Why me? Why have I been chosen

It's just such a mystery

A lot of people are really overwhelmed

By the news we hear daily

Yet I'm sailing along singing a happy tune

Just can't help it

If there was some way to pass along this joy

I surely would but I don't know how

How can I pass along this positive attitude

I've always managed to maintain

Even during my most trying of times

I wish everyone could feel as I do

I'm as happy as poop every day

Carol Eastman January 29, 2015 at 12:10 PM Hey! Be happy as Dragons' poop, Or Dogasaurus poop. THAT's a lot of happy! Those two explore the neighborhood. Then I'm called to clean it up. That leash is looking better and better! Silly Dragon! He thinks poop is the word! And he should poop here today, there tomorrow! I'm taking his visiting privileges away! Yes! You! Dragon! Don't look so innocent, I know Dragon size poop when I see it! Want to take Dragon to a Ferguson protest march and give them something else to think about! Jack Ellison January 29, 2015 at 12:22 PM Are they demonstrating again??? Heard the officer was not charged... is that why? xxx Carol Eastman January 29, 2015 at 12:13 PM If they can stir it up... Dragon can poop it... Sorry, couldn't help myself...
