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 © Jack Ellison 2014

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!!

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!
