Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

My Happy Is Off the Chart

The sun is shining brightly
On high and in my heart
Can't think of any good reason
Why my happy is off the chart

Could it just be a fluctuation
In my everyday ebb and flow
Or am I about to inherit a fortune
Perhaps fifty million or so

That'd get my heart a-pumping
Have to go lie down I fear
Gotta survive to enjoy my luck
At least for a few more years

Maybe a trip to some exotic place
Where girlies dress in grass skirts
Swing and sway oh what a scene
This stress I must try to avert

Always been a real big sucker
For members of the opposite sex
They drive me wild, my eyes bug out
I stutter and stammer, by heck

How bout that, my fine feathered friends
Survived another bout of girly-itis
One day it's sure gonna get me good
When it renders me totally speechless

The sun is shining brightly
On high and in my heart
Know why I'm so pooping happy
It's the joy you Soupers impart

Carol Eastman March 30, 2014 at 9:28 AM Dragons taking a bow for making you happy... You're making him Happy! I had to send him outside... His Happy Dance was shaking the house. It's sunny and getting to 67 today. The grounds not muddy or frozen. It's either a Miracle or it's Spring! Yay! Go Spring! Oopps... There went another penguin down! Hey guys, Look out for that tail! He doesn't pay attention when he's doing his Happy Dance. Sigh! Can't blame him tho. It's beautiful out there! We barely had ice on the bird bath! Go Team Spring! Jack Ellison March 31, 2014 at 8:34 AM It's actually showing signs that maybe, just maybe, spring might finally be breaking through! Keep your fingers crossed my dear Carol! XOXOX
