It's My Muse

There's something funny in most things you see It's all about how you look at it A guy falling on his ass slipping on a banana peel Is funny coz you weren't hurt a bit Sure can't believe I just said that dear friends Usually more caring than that Although there's this one time I was just a wee tike Climbed a tree and dropped our cat Nearly laughed my sadistic young head off then As Miss Kitty landed on all fours So Miss Kitty Kat had the last laugh after all Cruelty is something she abhors Another time was walking with this sweetie Suddenly she was no longer beside me Walked smack dab into this crotch high post Doubled over I laughed till I peed Seems other's misfortunes are funny to me Sadistic is a good word to use But in my own defence I'm still a nice guy It's basically always my muse © Jack Ellison 2014

My good friend Jack, as gold cannot be touched by rust so your tender heart cannot harbor any sadistic feelings! It is only the jester in you that grasps the opportunity to have a good laugh not of the victim but of the situation! Visiting me was as Santa coming to town! Have a wonderful 2014 and , as always, cheer us up!

You'd love living with Dragon. He'd have fired up that tree, or given the cat a chain saw. Fortunately ours doesn't work after the Techno Trolls got a hold of it! Dragon has his own kinda justice! And we're trying to prune off the rough spots, before the entire neighborhood falls apart due to his antics! They appreciate our efforts! Can't imagine why? I just wish I could stop Dragon from shaking me so early, to see if I'm awake yet! Hey! He's from up North! Are you two related? Are U a Dragon?
