Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

My Friend Mickey

Absolutely love old Mickey Mouse
He's my all-time favourite character
No matter what my age chronologically
Can't wait to crank up the projector

As he carouses round the celluloid screen
Fills my heart with a much happiness
His squeaky voice rings out loud and clear
His hilarious antics and rowdiness

Remember the Wonderful World of Disney
One in four was from Fantasyland
Of course, I enjoyed the other three weeks
But adored Mickey Mouse and his band

Life was such joy back way back when
Figured we would be kiddies forever
Thoughts we'd get old one day in the future
Occurred almost just about never

Mickey and his band kept us chuckling all day
No worries, the world was in rhyme
Never concerned what the future may hold
Much fun from morning till bed time

Robert Pettit August 12, 2012 at 5:35 PM Ever since the release of "Steamboat Willie", the late Walt Disney's creation has entertained countless numbers of fans. Good way to write about Mickey. Jack Ellison August 12, 2012 at 5:51 PM Got a house full of Mickey! Prize possession... a large 20" diameter free standing full colour sculpture of Mickey and Minnie sitting on a crescent moon. Got it hanging in my living room window! Glad you liked it my friend... cheers, Jack
