Jack Ellison Poet Rhyme

My Son Scottie

Got a son
His name is Scottie
Am I proud, you better believe it
My shining star
My confidant
How proud? You couldn't conceive it

Growing up
Problems quite few
Turned out to be much as expected
A computer guru
With in-born smarts
Trying so hard to be objective

Guess I'm not
Being very successful
At hiding my love for my Scottie
Hope he meets up with
A pretty young thing
One just a little bit naughty

Some folks say
He's a replica of me
Imagine that's quite possibly true
Body shape's similar
Same zest fot life
His sense of humour's similar too

Bias? Perhaps!
More than a little
Not everyone's as lucky as me
To have a son who
Turned out like Scottie
As proud as a daddy can be!

Carol Eastman September 5, 2013 at 9:30 AM Kids, yes, even Dragon, can really pull at our heart strings. Joey (nursing) has a good heart, Casey (art teacher) loves teaching, penguins are sooo cute, and Dragon keeps us oldsters active... He wants to be the first Dragon UPS Guy... Finished it, but will hold it a few days... then revise... Like kids wanting to be a fireman... His choice of profession will change weekly... That way he'll do a little less damage in any one spot... What Dragon? No, I definately wasn't referring to you... LOL!
