Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

It's Supposed To Make - Me - Mel - Low

So they've upped my medication

From 10 mg to 20 mg

It's the stuff that's supposed to make... me... mel... low

I almos... uh... almo... almost nodded... off... ff!

Don't think it's strong enough yet... thhh...ough!

Hopefully I'll soon start writing about fairies and pretty flowers

Instead of demons and evil monsters

Some of my best friends are fairies

Hang on... the ones with wings like Tinker Bell

We go skipping through the meadow with gay abandon

Now there you go misunderstanding me again

Well, getting back to my medication

Sometimes it makes me so mellow

I tend to try to stuff mashed potatoes in my ear hole

Not a good idea... especially in a restaurant

Mothers grab their wee kiddies

Cover their eyes while quickly moving to a different table

I mean no harm... I love everybody

In the whole great big entire world

Robert Nehls July 22, 2014 at 12:08 PM try 15 mg. Jack. I guess we'll have to put a * by this poem. It will be the first in the 20 mg group. I really did enjoy the humor of this one, my friend..... Robert. Jack Ellison July 22, 2014 at 1:00 PM Thanks for the suggestion, my friend! Let me know if I become more mellow! LOL You have quickly become a very good friend, Robert! Cheers!

Carol Eastman July 21, 2014 at 9:50 AM Ahhh... I have a bad enough imagination as it is... After my surgeries were over (& before) I don't take the pain killers and relaxacons... They could make life very groovy... But pain doesn't bother me as much as losing a part of my life to the meds... I really loved your poem! It was great! You're one of the most talented people I know! Dragon doesn't understand... He's never had any joy juice... He's bad enough as it is... Tho it would be funny watching him try to tip toe thru the tulips... Jack Ellison July 22, 2014 at 8:14 AM You are way too kind, my dear Ms. Eastman! Don't know if I warrant such praise but thank you, my dearest and most loyal friend! Big loving hugs XOXOX
