Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

I Ain'T Done Yet

Laugh and the world laughs with you
Laugh alone and you look like a goof
A good rule to follow, just try to blend in
It works coz I'm living proof

Get down and boogie with the plain old folks
You'll find we're all similar inside
Each wants the very same things out of life
To hold up our noggins with pride

So proud to have lived a productive life
Treated everyone with due respect
Gave back to each community we lived in
We sure don't have any regrets

We can look back on life and honestly say
There's nothing we'd like to change
Life's been a blast, from beginning to end
Never strived for fortune or fame

Content with my life as I can possibly be
No negatives, no hang-ups, no regrets
It's been a blast for all seventy-seven years
But no fear, I sure ain't done yet
