Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

My Memory Bank

My memory bank is outta funds
Someone musta robbed me in the night
Think my name's either Jack or Charlie
Can't remember which one is right

Had to look on my driver's license
To determine if I am who I am
That's quite sad, seems I've lost my identity
Could be a very famous man

Heard of anyone regaining their youth
Like totally full of beans once more
Stealing hubcaps and other naughty stuff
What a hoot that would be, for sure

Dream on little fellow, ain't gonna happen
You're doomed to a life of Metamucil
It sure was a blast while the damn thing lasted
Old age surely can be quite brutal

Carol Eastman February 20, 2014 at 9:23 AM Dragon's Horrified! No one can forget Him! You worry us! It's time to put your mud- lucks on and come for a visit. 60 degrees today with rain and lightening. WOW! Tons of snow melted off in 2 days, even the mounds that were pure ice 2 days ago. AMAZING! Dragon thinks it's spring, but Spring is around the middle of March here. When is it where you live, in the North Pole? Sorry couldn't help myself! Bring Cathie. Dragon is infatuated with her. A little competition with Dragon will do you good! Jack Ellison February 20, 2014 at 10:14 AM USUALLY the middle of March here too but this year... maybe June!!! So get ready... we'll be heading your way soon (I wish!) XOXOX
