Has Your Hair Departed

If a dog is stopped from pooping, is he DEterred? Has your hair all of a sudden DEparted? Donald Duck's pay cheque was once DEducted To get a seat at a concert, do you ever use DEceit? Have you ever seen a tree DEbark? If you spit out a breath mint, do you DEsert? Do your trousers ever get DEpressed? Do skirts sometimes get DEpleted? If a cop tears up one of two tickets, does he have to DEfine Can locomotive engineer's mind get DErailed? Do first nation peoples live by DEcree? When a painter farts, do they imitate DEgas? If you try and fail, do you DEcant? The lowest card in a deck is a two, I DEduce If a dog gives you a tiny bite, is that called a DEbit? © Jack Ellison 2013

This is a tremendous and hilarious write my friend! I loved what you did with each word, this is so clever Jack! My favorite one has to do with my own life, "Has your hair all of a sudden DEparted!" and my hair surely has begun to leave me! Oh well, maybe wisdom comes with it! I'm fascinated by the splendor of this awesome poem! It's nice to see you writing here at night, a great change! Excellent Work!!
