Jack Ellison Tribute Revised

I know an old Gent, who I call my friend. His humorous content, brings me back and again. He is witty and charming, and the Ladies all love him. They call him their darling. He's one of my favorites, on Poetry Soup. Some think he is a genius. Some think he's a kook. His talents are noticed by all of his Peers. We give all his Limericks the loudest of Cheers. Jack your humor is so comical, I'm telling you friends, his poems are hysterical, and a bit illogical! I have to have my dose of Jack's funny wit every morning. Some of his content might need a PG warning! To me Jack is a class act at its very best! If you get to know him you would certainly attest!!! You're lucky to know this wonderful man, He's a folk hero around here Jack Ellison! I'm proud to call him my Dear Friend, he makes me laugh time and again. If you get a chance to read the Limericks of this witty old man. You'll come close to peeing your pants.... Tribute to One of My Favorite Poets and a friend. On Poetry Soup. Mr Jack Ellison A Wonderful Man. 10/1/2015 Michael Tor I encourage you to read his humorous writings they will brighten your day.

Time is difficult Paul. I know the feeling. I Wish there was more hours in a day. So many thoughts I would convey to some other poets. I am glad you have sampled Jacks poems. Thanks for stopping by...

Ha ha ha Jack my wife adored your comments. I'm so glad to be able to honor such an inspiration for all who gaze at your wonderful creations. You write with such ease these marvelous limericks that bring us so much joy inside. Love the interaction between you and John John Wulf and Tim Smith, I know you have more followers Jack than I can't mention in this small space. It shows how much you are a fixture here on the Soup. I was happy to stumble on to your witty and obscene writes lol. Your appreciation is felt not only by me Jack but all those that care so much about you. Stay well my friend and I will be checking mayana looking for my humorous addiction.

Andrea he is so talented and his humor I love. His writes have an addicting formula to them. Once you read one of his Limericks you become hooked. He is like coffee to a coffee lover. You yourself have a great following too. Your very accomplished here so many incredible poets . I love each and everyone of them they each are special and the thoughts and cleverness shines through them. Love the diversified talent found here. Thanks again Andrea for your generous kindness.
