Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Hot Diggety Dog

Hot diggety dog, hear me bellow
My ship's finally made it to shore
It's left me agog this brand new life
I'll be wanting for nuttin' no more!

Never guessed I'd ever discover 
Friends I didn't know I had
Just showing up from outta nowhere
Claiming to be best buds as lads

Folks always seem to gather around
The smell of the mighty buck
Popping outta the woodwork it seems
Too bad, they're just out of luck

Don't give in, it's a common old ploy
It's as old as a Tracy named Dick
Tell 'em scram and don't come back
Urge 'em on with a little kick

Laura Breidenthal March 26, 2018 at 11:55 PM I like the style of this one here. Hot diggedy dog! It's a true blessing, friends and laughter. As long as you're showing love and good cheer, people will always be around for more. Always, Laura Jack Ellison March 27, 2018 at 6:14 AM It's always been my philosophy but even more so as I age... life is really too short dear Laura!!! Live, love and smile! Love, Happy Jack XOX

Tim Smith May 3, 2015 at 11:38 PM If they want my love I give it freely...if they want the truth I give it freely....if they want my trust they have to earn it...if they want my money I will freely give it out of love and trust
