Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Love's Inscribed On My T-Shirt

Silly old man, I've often been called
I love those words of endearment
My one and only real aim in life
Put smiles on faces, that's fulfillment

If I fail, it's back to the beginning I go
Surely I've done something wrong
Laughter is the basis of a joyful life
So giggle and sing along

Life will go on whether happy or sad
So why not choose to be happy
In the end, you'll count your lucky stars
Sing out with a tune that's snappy

Your voice will burst forth in support of love
The reason we enjoy each moment
The reason we wake with joy in our hearts
Love is the major component

Silly old man, always preaching about love
Is he really some kind of expert
Been down that road of passion a few times
Have “LOVE” inscribed on my t-shirt!

Carol Eastman December 4, 2013 at 8:30 AM Dragon's applauding... Says he loves his barbecue sauce... and yes, it's on his shirt, too... LOL... My Dad lives in Arizona... only snow is in the mountains... 2hr ride from desert floor to snow skiing... I live in Missouri where the snow should be here shortly... This week highs are below freezing... Penguins are ready and waiting for any white,wet, snowy, stuff... Dragon heats up the driveway melting the snow so I won't have to shovel... That deserves a BIG Christmas present!... LOL Jack Ellison December 4, 2013 at 8:35 AM Us Canadian dudes think of the whole of the U.S. as being like Florida the whole year around! Silly us! One day closer to spring! WOO HOOOO! XOXOXOXO
