Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Jack the Jester

Jack the Jester some people call me
Quite hard living up to at times
But if you keep reading, I'll write some sillies
To help you forget winter's signs

Join the army... visit exotic places
Meet strange people, then kill them
I'd really like to help you out, dear friend
Which way did you come in

They say beauty is in the eye of the beer holder
A truer word was never uttered
It's amazing I can still come up with these gems
My poor brain is really cluttered

To all you virgins out there, thanks for nothing
This one sure gave me a giggle
It's good we have this fancy computer thingy
You'd never decipher my squiggles

You laugh because you think I'm different
I laugh because I just farted
Change is good but dollars are much better
Now do you see what you started

Carol Eastman February 24, 2014 at 8:16 AM Dragon thinks beauty's in the eye of those who behold him, but his mind is definitely cluttered by the bling of those bedazzled gems!... To Dragon Change may be good, but bedazzles are way better still! Now see what you started! It's another Dragon attack! Beware our 'Jack the Jester' for Dragon gobbles up... words like they're a snack! Sorry I wasn't here yesterday. Grandpa Troll helped me out of the Grocery store. I had a passing out attack. Don't worry, It's better than 'a passing on' attack! Jack Ellison February 24, 2014 at 10:43 AM "I had a passing out attack" Was this true? Take care my dearest Carol... loving hugs, Jack XOXOX
