Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Life's a Grabber

Life's a grabber, ain't it?
With all of its up and downs
Never know what's in store
Best to be a clown!

Whatever life hurls at you
Just laugh and giggle away
Time to worry tomorrow
Tomorrow's another day!

This is my own philosophy
Won't work for everyone
Give it a whirl, let it go
Kick it up, have some fun!

Life will be long and happy
With sunshine every day
Don't worry bout the forecast
Just smile and chuckle away!

Life's a grabber, ain't it?
Don't waste it on some frowns
Click your heels, skip along
Turn nasty upside down!

Carol Eastman September 4, 2014 at 12:34 PM Oh Jack! Dragon is SO literal! We had an early run without a misunderstanding to send us off. Amazing! But decided to run the track at the park! Not so good! Mr. McNasty (Sheriff of CrazyLand) saw us and stopped us making me put Dragon on his leash. At that, Dragon grabbed Mr. McNasty by the feet and turned him upside down in the air! So Not good! Cause Dragon began skipping and giggling down the track. He accidently bumped the sheriff's head on the ground when I told him to put him DOWN! Sigh! Jack Ellison September 4, 2014 at 6:30 PM That dragon guy seems to be quite dangerous at times! LOL XOXOX

J. R. Corbin September 4, 2014 at 8:53 AM Right there with ya, buddy. The world is so messed up, if we don't laugh, we'll just cry. It's like Jimmy Buffet says, "If we weren't all crazy, we just would go insane!" Jack Ellison September 4, 2014 at 9:39 AM YEEHAW! Just watched a concert from Atlanta with him and Zach Brown! You can't help but smile when he performs! Have a super day, my friend!
