Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Pills, Pills, Pills

Pills, pills, pills for everything
Taking more than ever before
Popping pills for this and that
Constipation which we abhor

Didn't used to be like this
What's happened to our way of life
Much preferred the way it was
We sure had a lot less strife

Maybe I'm a wee bit delusional
And things aren't all that different
However it sure seems that way
Am I being a little bit ignorant

Pills to make me more handsome
Hasn't worked, not even close
Taking even more than suggested
Think I'll strengthen my dose

Pills, pills, pills for everything
More addicted than ever before
A bunch of babies we've turn out to be
Constipation we really abhor

Carol Eastman December 15, 2013 at 6:52 AM Things are always different and changing... The Live Nativity has gone from quiet and relevent to a full blown production! Dragon had the it declared a collection site for the 'Toys for Tots Foundation'. He has his penguins running around the crowds collecting the toys... And he has the Muscular Dystrophy Child spokesperson... playing baby Jesus... Yes! I didn't forget Dragon!... He's now narrating the entire event! And to make it cooler... He gave the Penguins tennis shoes to match his own! Jack Ellison December 15, 2013 at 6:59 AM His heart sure is in the right place, that Dragon friend of yours!!! Seems like he really enjoys this time of the year!!! XOXOXOX

Carol Eastman December 14, 2013 at 9:19 AM I almost had to take a chill pill when Dragon sang 'The Hills are alive with the sound of music' in the live nativity scene. I was shaking my head when the preacher told me viewers, attendance, and Christmas donations for the poor are up... Wow! Even the Church across the street with a REAL Nativity Scene is happy... McRaccoon in Vegas is making a show about this... Can things get any weirder? With Dragon... The answer is yes! Everyone keeps telling me to get into the spirit!... LOL!... Uh! OK! Jack Ellison December 14, 2013 at 1:42 PM I've never actually heard Dragon sing... does he have a good voice? XOXOXOX
