Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Jacko the Old Softy

The title describes me to a tee
No matter how hard I try at times
To be tough and manly and masculine
A softie is how I'm defined

Guess it's not always a bad way to be
Cold hearted is sure not this guy
If you're able to read between the lines
That's where this dude resides

Try very hard to always be honest
But it's not always easy to do
Some factors contribute every damn day
To disguise the real you

So call this guy a real “old softy”
That's a real compliment you see
Will keep on spreading the love around
“Jacko The Softy”, that's me!
