Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Not Yer Fancy Highfalutin Writer

I write about everyday happenings
That's my style and I'm sticking with it
I'm not yer fancy, highfalutin writer
Down to earth stuff is what I emit

I sometimes get naughty, God forbid
Try to keep it down to a minimum
A fine old gentleman from way up north
An honourable upstanding citizen

Have you had enough, are you getting ill
So sorry, but I really must emote
I'm a Leo you know so don't blame me
Not responsible if I sometimes gloat

A handsome devil, I'll give you that
Learned to live with girlie's attention
Quite like it, makes me feel kinda frisky
And relieves my sexual tension

So that's me, I'm just an ordinary fellow
Not yer fancy, highfalutin writer
Stick to the basics, just ordinary stuff
Known as a lover, not as a fighter

Russell Sivey March 7, 2014 at 11:27 PM This is totally awesome, and this poem is just like you...and really me! We are very similar in that regard, we're not fancy or highfalutin, nor are we fighters! We will write poetry until we die, I know this because that is just the way we are! We are both sensitive, and are sentimental! I really enjoyed reading this delightful poem this evening! What a brilliant piece, Great Work!!

Carol Eastman March 7, 2014 at 12:25 PM Dragon and I aren't so sure anything about you is ordinary. You write fancy love poems to Cathie. Dragon can't compete with you to win Cathie over... But I told him not to worry... since he's really looking for more of a second mother. At 2 he thinks everyone loves him because he's him... But he still sucks his thumb and often carries his blanky around. Gotta love that fire retardant material! And the fact that he still needs everybody's love... But sad cause he's too big... to sit upon a lap! Jack Ellison March 7, 2014 at 2:11 PM Cathie gives me these whopping big smackeroonies when I write love poems for her!!! WOOHOO XOXOX
