Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Mister Cue Ball Man

Just noticed for the very first time
My hair line is definitely receding
My crowning glory, my silvery dome
My time here is short I'm conceding

If I ever wind up as Mr. Cue Ball Man
It'll be time to close up shop
Basically it'll be over, over and done
No incentive without my silvery crop

May sound vain, a wee bit conceded
But with this mug that I possess
Really need these charming adornments
Need all the help I can get

To impress the ladies, my hair was it
Running fingers through my silvery locks
They murmured tender sweet love words
Offering me all that they've got

Dream on dear fellow, you sound delusional
It's the total package that's the thing
With or without your silvery locks
As long as you've still got that zing

Carol Eastman December 9, 2013 at 8:01 AM Thank goodness you added that with or without it you've still got the zing! Dragon was getting worried and asking me to get on the internet to look up hair pieces for him! I explained hair doesn't make the Dragon... We'll watch a Yule Brenner marathon to help him understand... We'll start with 'The King and I' since Dragon thinks he's so majestic... Then 'The Magnificent Seven' to bring his ego back down.. Then we'll watch 'West World' for the Techno Trolls... It's their all time favorite.... Jack Ellison December 9, 2013 at 8:06 AM LOL A Yul Brynner marathon!!! What an icon to be compared with but so far, I still have my silvery locks! For how long... hmmm... that's the question of the day! XOXOXOX
