Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Niceties Have Become More Rare

Looking for a real sensitive soul
Are there any left out there
In this crazy fast paced age of computers
Niceties have become more rare

Except of course here on the Soup
We all still care about love
About thoughtfulness and tender wishes
Sweet love words all else above

We could teach this world how to love
Us guys sure know the ropes
All it takes are these three words plus two
“Please allow me to grope”

Ooops I guess I kinda destroyed the mood
Got carried away for sure
But I'm certain you got the general idea
My naughtiness please ignore

Carol Eastman March 4, 2014 at 8:35 AM Don't worry we're used to naughty here. Tho Dragon's naughty in a different way, of course! Dragon became jealous when his penguins laid some eggs. He wanted to babysit them... in hopes of returning them to different parents. The penguins aren't fools and wouldn't let him close. So I told him the eggs are like favorite blanky's that they'll never put down, and that, he'd have more penguins when they hatch. So now, he's blinging out little blanky's with names he's picked, for each and every one. Carol Eastman March 4, 2014 at 5:51 PM Gee... Jack... You ask that to someone who talks about make believe Dragons and such... LOL... Actually... we're all just Ducky!... Ummm... Maybe we need a little ducky pet for Dragon's penguins! Cool!... Remember... I might be strange, but you read my comments... LOL Jack Ellison March 4, 2014 at 9:38 AM How is your brood holding up with this nasty winter weather! XOXOX

Jack Ellison March 4, 2014 at 6:54 AM Damn naughtiness keeps creeping in... need to see a shrink, I think! LOL
