My Time Is Up

Think it's time to turn in my keyboard
Seems my lims are no longer adored
Twas only a matter of time
That these sillies of mine
Would become boring and yummy no more

Hello Jack, a question: Are giving up poetry? If so ...why are you doing it? You can always write another type of poetry. Have a nice evening my friend.xxx-oo

Please read what I posted on Tim's blog. The readership of my poems has drizzled steadily. It isn't your poems, or I should quit, too.

Jack, C'mon now. Nonsense. I am going to be 77 on June 26th. You are my soul and inspiration that could not bare the separation; You entice my concentration. The best way to beckon is with Canadian bacon. Jim Horn

It is up to you when time expires; Then is up to those who admires, Have the ability; Enjoy tranquility; Be an angel in heaven God hires.

Hi Jack, I think I can speak for most here at the soup, we adore you and your limericks. I apologize for not visiting you much, but I must say that I haven't that active on the soup like I was in the past. I also know that when people don't make comment on our writes it's doesn't feel good. However I don't let it bother me any more. I hope this not farewell my friend. I hope to see more of you:-) Alexis

Now that was SO SWEET, dear Alexis!!! Absolutely no need to apologize, my friend, I totally understand. Being retired means I have a lot of time on my hands and when my readership dwindles, I feel it! I appreciate your kind words dear friend... love, Happy Jack XOX

Jack, I think you are excellent at limerick, and as for readers visiting and commenting, we all have noticed there is less these days, poetry soup is not the same as it was, perhaps too many members and those of us who have been here a long time just get lost in the mix, or time, time is everything because there is not enough of it. I have poems with no comments that end up winning in contests, so what is that about ?? Anyways perhaps reconsider if that is the only reason.

No. Say it isn't so. Jack. Jack? I'll be sad. I have not had my coffee yet, so maybe I'm dreaming this. I'll try again when more awake...

I will miss you my loyal Ottawa friend!!! But as I told Tom, I feel my stuff is getting stale as evidenced by my reduced readership! I have enjoyed my years on the site and may return in the future but for now, I say adieu!!! Tons of love, Happy Jack XOXOX

Been at it since 2012! Have enjoyed the banter, especially ours but this old guy's stuff is getting stale and refreshing no more It has been a hoot all these years but methinks it's time to say adieu! Thank you and all my good friends, for all the fun times we've had together!!! Cheers, Jack
