Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

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

Richard Lamoureux January 14, 2014 at 9:18 AM Damn that muse! I would guess that you were a three stooges fan. Jack Ellison January 14, 2014 at 9:21 AM You better BELIEVE it my friend! LOL... and Abbott and Costello too!!!!

Demetrios Trifiatis January 14, 2014 at 7:10 AM 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! Jack Ellison January 14, 2014 at 7:22 AM I have been very remiss my dear friend, Demetrios! I apologize! You are a magnificent charming poet and man and I could learn a lot from your sage presentations! Till we meet again, cheers!!!

Carol Eastman January 13, 2014 at 9:55 AM 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? Jack Ellison January 13, 2014 at 10:17 AM I'm wondering... do you think John reads all this neat stuff you send to me? Methinks he does!!! XOXOX
