Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

Kickapoo Joy Juice

That first cup of coffee in the morning

I describe it as KICKAPOO JOY JUICE

The day doesn't begin until that first sip

When angels start singing and the sun starts to shine

You realize the world is a beautiful place

You feel like skipping through fields of clover

Singing Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah and throwing out daisies

At times I'm overwhelmed by the amazing response

When total strangers stop me, embrace me

And plant huge smackers on my waiting lips

I'd prefer members of the opposite sex

But in a pinch... hmmm!

Yup! KICKAPOO JOY JUICE each morning

Starts my old engine a-humming

Must be careful though, two is my maximum

After that I'm no longer responsible for my actions

There have been times when a third cup of the stuff

Has caused me to touch total strangers

In very inappropriate places

When my advances are happily returned

It usually means they've been into the juice as well

Must leave you now... making my fifth cup

There's no stopping me now!!!!!

Carol Eastman December 28, 2014 at 7:44 AM Had my coffee yesterday and have almost finished My 'Freshwater Goldfish Whale' poem... You inspired naturally. Then I cleaned the whole house... An unheard of feat of Daring do... But that left me a tad sore... So Hubby said no more coffee for you... Can't imagine why... Maybe having Dragon put Hubby's clothes in the washer whlile Hubby was still wearing them was a bad idea... But Hubby was definitely in need of a bath... Honest!... LOL... My oh my... what coffee can do to me! Jack Ellison December 28, 2014 at 7:52 AM So your hubby survived the washer episode! Good! See what that stuff can do! I'm a one cup a day laddie! XXXXX
