Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

My Son the Guru

My son the guru has all the answers
He hasn't failed me yet
Every family needs someone like him
An untold treasure you bet

I'm much too old to learn new stuff
My learning years are done
That's why it's so damn important
To have a guru son

Let him discover the latest stuff
Let him absorb it for you
Then explain it to you in simple terms
Coz you really don't have a clue

Each generation learns from their kids
They keep us all up to date
Do I feel lazy or maybe a bit guilty
Nope! No need to ruminate

Just ask and you'll receive they say
A cop out but what the hey
What are offsprings good for anyway
But to help you through the day

Marquis Mc Mills-Cooper August 7, 2013 at 5:56 AM Wow, nice one! Hope I was a Guru son to my Dad while he was alive. Nice Job Jack! MC Jack Ellison August 7, 2013 at 6:13 AM It used to be that dads passed on what they've learned to their sons... things now seem to be reversed since the age of computers. Glad to hear you also helped your dad! Cheers, Jack

Carol Eastman July 30, 2013 at 10:16 AM Ask and you'll receive? I ask for my son home for the summer. He brought his girlfriend. No food left, no money for food. They play video games all night. No sleep. They brought a 10 week old (un potty trained) puppy home last night to take home in two days. No more absorbent towels. It cried all night. They're asking for money: for an oil change, apartment furniture, and living expenses until the student loans come in. But I love them, anyway. I'll love Dragon a bit more for a while tho... LOL. Jack Ellison July 31, 2013 at 4:58 AM But you love the... of course! Big huggeroonies, Jack xoxoxox
