Jack Ellison Poet Couplet

Nature Calls

Nature calls and I don't mean coyotes
Got a panicky feeling down to my toe-sies

Till the next rest stop to hold it I'll try
Got everything crossed including my eyes

Don't ask me questions, can't answer right now
Really must concentrate, there's sweat on my brow

Please dear wifey can you drive a little faster
Don't mean to bug you but it'll avoid a disaster

Stop! Stop! There's construction up ahead
Maybe they'll allow me to use their shed

Look at those guys they're laughing at me
Can no longer wait, going behind this tree

Ahhhhh! Finally at last, I'm at heaven's door
Next time I'll make sure I go pee-pee before

Laura Breidenthal September 18, 2020 at 11:40 PM I think we've all been there at least once. Love how you can put these funny scenarios into fun rhyming words. Always, Laura Jack Ellison September 19, 2020 at 1:14 PM Everyone knows what that means... it's universal! LOL Thank you sweet Laura! XOX

Carol Eastman December 15, 2012 at 11:24 AM Brings back lots of memories. I was worse than the kids. I took them to drive thru the Christmas lights and scenes. One year there was a 2-3 hour wait to see them. The kids were jumping out of the cars and no one cared(They were in the same boat). But I was miserable! I'll remember that year for all the wrong reasons... My son doesn't remember that year at all! LOL Jack Ellison December 15, 2012 at 2:36 PM I guess it's a little more difficult for a lady to go behind a tree eh! LOL Ahhh memories! Hugs and much love, Jackers xox
