Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Long Live the Sillies

Enough is enough of this seriousness
Back to the sillies where I belong
Here's something to ponder, my friends
Why is the word 'abbreviation' so long

I don't usually have to think twice
Before giving it a second thought
You're schizophrenic? That makes four of us
Skydiving is good to the last drop

Have you heard that gravity is a myth
In reality, it's the Earth that sucks
Did you know old people have a secret
That secret is known as luck

You know you have a small apartment
When Kellogg's Coco Pops echo
Maybe our world is another planet's hell
Sure wouldn't surprise me to know

Why do psychics have to ask you your name
Going to live forever... so far so good
I adore you more than beans and rice
If I could love you more I would

They say, hard work pays off in the future
I say, laziness pays off now
Some sage advice, never ever stand close
To the back end of a cow

All those who believe in psycho kinesis
Will you please raise my hand
People usually wind up in a prone position
While involved in a one night STAND

What happens if you get scared to death twice
What do sheep count to help them sleep
Ever wonder why all blackboards are green
Do birds shake wings when they greet

Carol Eastman February 15, 2014 at 9:30 AM Abbreviation was written by someone with the hiccups. Dragon never gives anything a second thought, so he's always in a lurch! He loves skydiving, tho the ground doesn't seem to agree. Earth doesn't suck, It's the mud. Don't you see? Old people don't have LUCK! They've everyone knocking on their door! Cocoa Pops echo cause the rugs are out to be cleaned. We're not in Hell, we're in a dream where cataclysms rule supreme! I'd rather you adore me like a box of rocks, They last longer, you see! Jack Ellison February 15, 2014 at 1:43 PM Read John's comments above! Seems we two make him giggle! LOL XOXOXOX Carol Eastman February 15, 2014 at 9:32 AM Dragon says... He was glad he could set you straight... Hey! Dragon! there's nothing straight about it... It's called going around the bend... Hee! Hee!
