Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

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!

Lindsay Laurie March 3, 2015 at 8:53 PM G'day Jack... It's similar to being knighted Jack, and I did get quite a giggle in the punch line where you capitalized USUALLY... mmm.

Carol Eastman March 3, 2015 at 11:01 AM 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! Jack Ellison March 3, 2015 at 2:18 PM No problem my dear Carol... no one is as faithful as you!!! Yikes! 51 degrees... we warmed up too but not that much! xxx
