My Life In a Blip

In spite of my extremely good looks (lol) Still gotta play by the books No jumping ahead in the line Each gets their turn everything's fine Not always hunky-dory though The ups the downs just take life slow There ain't no hurry it'll all get done Take time out for having a little fun When your time is up and finally over There'll be nothing but fields of clover Time for good-byes wishing you the best That completes it as I'm laid to rest

Ignore the blips my friend. You are way too full of life to think of fields of clover ! You have years of happiness to spread, I ask you seriously... what would Poetry Soup be... Without Happy Jack To answer everyone back.... in his jovial humorous style,,, knowing he is wearing that cheeky smile!...

I like this, Jack. I see impatient people all the time, especially in doctor's waiting rooms. Although they are running behind, I'm sure they will give these people all the time they need. I learned patience in the military, and it has stood me in good stead my entire life. Besides, I can take a quick nap almost anywhere!

How delightfully witty and profound writing, my dearest x Montrealer friend, Jack! We know each other for over a decade now. Please, stick around for a few more decades. The soup will be with no...taste without you! Blessings!
