Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Missing Stuff

Since moving to our brand new home
There's things I haven't found
Like my pair of pearly white dentures
And Dufus our basset hound

Still haven't located my tightie whities
People are holding their noses
Till I find 'em gonna use lots of cologne
And carry a bouquet of roses

Now certain things take top priority
Like oil for my artificial leg
The damn thing squeaks unmercifully
“FIND THAT OIL!” Cathie begs

The kitchen stuff's in the living room
We're sleeping out on the lawn
Neighbours are peering out their windows
Expecting some “goings on”!

All things considered we're doing fine
Minor inconveniences they are
We'll soon be sleeping in out of the rain
And be happy campers, by gar!

Carol Eastman July 1, 2013 at 8:21 AM I'd suggest sending Dragon up North to help you move things... But breakage is a problem... The Trolls would love to help... But I hear there's a heat wave... and feeding them costs more than hiring some one to help... Love you guys... Obi Wan Cathie take good care of my buddy for me... His writes are almost as good as mine... Kidding!... LOL
