Jackisms

Bev Smith coined the phrase “Jackisms” That's an honour in no uncertain terms If Poetry Soup should create a new category I'll go down in history, it's confirmed I'll be famous alongside Shelley and Keates Will be known the whole world over I'll be loved by millions with untold riches Literally I'll be rolling in clover Enough about me, what this catrgory will add Is a whole new dimension to this art Jackisms will add the opportunity of the ages For those with joy in their hearts I am truly humbled and my thanks go to Bev For recognizing my great genius-osity The talent of expressing ourselves with humour So I expect to read much frivolity Don't write me letters, this is all meant in fun Now see this is exactly what I mean Create some giggles and big time guffaws Remember I USUALLY keep 'em clean! © Jack Ellison 2015

Dragon and I read your work yesterday but some how didn't comment? When I get too stressed out I tend tolose some things... Think all that snow shoveling got to me, so hired someone to shovel the last 7 inches off the driveway. 51 degrees today. Thank goodness! Looks like spring is on the way. Dragon did do his best to help, but the temperatures were so cold that his fire was coming out snow! Poor baby hid in the house until his fire came back! Keep going... We always appreciate your Jackisms!
