Hopelessly Addicted

When you meet that someone, you know in an instant It's the one you've been waiting for Not a bit of hesitation, you can call it intuition You've been waiting a lifetime or more They're saying all the things you've been craving to hear Since the day you discovered love Those tender sweet love words that turn you to mush And give your old ticker a shove No second guessing, it pokes you in the eye Suddenly you can't function anymore All you can think of are those tender sweet moments With this angel you've been waiting for At first you ask yourself, “is this the real thing” Or is it just wishful thinking at play Then this vision says something that turns you to putty Any doubts you might have had go away An age old question, “how d'you know if it's real” Well there's very subtle signs to look for If you can't remember the last names of your parents Then you're hopelessly addicted for sure © Jack Ellison 2014

Our yard was sooo muddy yesterday... That the Swamp Thing came to visit! Dragon and the penguins were immediately and maddeningly in love... With the MUD he stirred up! We had to keep counting the penguins and the Swamp Thing had to keep mud diving when they disappeared too long! But the penguins favorite part was the hose wash offs. They love open fire hydrants and riding the water high into the air! They think they're flying! I call it sailing as they slide all the way down the street! WEEEE!
