Jack Ellison Poet Rhyme

Our World Shuts Down

Does anyone really know how much we rely
On the electrical power system to survive
Lose it for ten minutes and our world shuts down
When everyday services we're deprived

It's the one service we need more than any other
Panic sets in immediately when denied
Some people want to end it all
It'll be restored it's only a matter of time

Debra L Brown April 11, 2022 at 11:25 AM Hi! Jack, I enjoyed your poem. We were without power for three days this winter, twice in one month. You don't know what you have until it's gone as we get so use to it being there. You certainly have a lot more respect for electric. Have a blessed day. Debra Jack Ellison April 11, 2022 at 1:30 PM You better believe it dear Deb!!! We were without power last week for about two or three hours! YIKES! I was freaking out! We count on it! Love, Jack! XOX

L Milton Hankins April 11, 2022 at 8:58 AM That's so true, Jack. When my power goes off, I am in an immediate panic state. I just don't have enough charisma to run all my appliances! Ha! Jack Ellison April 11, 2022 at 9:30 AM It's like there's no further point in going on LOL A couple of minutes... not bad! An hour or more it's like I end up screaming though the house!!!
