Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

Hope I Don'T Embarrass Myself

Old age is fast approaching

Wonder what it will be like

Will I still be able to tie my shoes

Will I still be able to dress myself in the morning

... or will I care

Hope I don't embarrass myself

Walking through the mall in my jockeys

Will I break out in goose bumps

Actually my goose bumps may need

Assistance breaking out

They are at least as old as I am

Will I still ogle the young girlies in their short shorts

Trying to remember why I find it titillating

Dream on you old codger

You're still breathing aren't you

Carol Eastman August 5, 2014 at 11:26 AM Your not there yet... Jack... And Dragon and I are still enjoying your company... I think Dragon's more worried about those goose bumps than anything else... He's ready to fight any goose in your behalf! How dare they put bumps all over you! Mean! Mean Goose's! He said to say the word and he'll be your Super Hero!... And by the way... I have a contest about the writer being a Super Hero... I bet you could write something good for it... Dragon said 'use the contest to get even with the goose's'! Jack Ellison August 6, 2014 at 7:39 AM "Your not there yet... Jack" That's what I keep telling myself! LOL Then I hear a voice in my head saying... you're a damn liar!!!
