Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Please Don'T Tell My Super Jock Friends

Actually saw my first robin today
Gayly flitting from branch to branch
Please don't tell my super jock friends
They're just waiting for a chance

They'll start calling me “sweetie pie”
And kissing me on the cheek
Ask if they could escort me to the ball
And giving my nose a wee tweak

I'm just as manly as all those guys
With a soft side they don't possess
No excuses for my feminine tendencies
Even comfortable wearing a dress

Okay maybe that's going too far
The wearing of a dress I mean
Really haven't stopped playing with dolls
Now live ones wearing tight jeans

Can't believe this all started with a robin
A harbinger of upcoming spring
As I gayly prance through fields of clover
To a bouquet of roses I cling!

Wayland Bunch March 13, 2013 at 11:44 PM Now you are preaching to the choir, Amen, santa clause , lol. I'm sorry, I couldn't resist the santa clause joke. You are a wonderful soul, and I defintely meant no harm. I truly enjoy your poems, and wish everyone was just like you. The world would be a better place, I'm positive. Jack Ellison March 14, 2013 at 6:18 AM WOWSERS! May I quote you??? LOL BTW I've been called Santa many times... that's not a bad thing! Actually, a wee kiddie in a shopping mall once thought I was the big guy and tugged on his mom's sleeve to come and talk to me! Sweet! Thanks a bunch for those oh so kind words, my good friend!

Wayland Bunch March 13, 2013 at 7:52 PM I don't think I can imagine Santa Clause in a dress, that is going too far, lol, just kidding my friend. I think I have some of those same type of friends, that I won't be sharing poetry with, good thing there are stiff refined men, that can be comfortable talking, reading, and writing about these things. Nice poem, funny as always, and yes I'll keep reading them, usually a bright spot of the day. Jack Ellison March 13, 2013 at 9:11 PM I guess one has to be pretty comfortable in their own skin to make fun of their feminine side eh! I'm all male... be assured! LOL Cheers, Santa Claus!

Donna Jones March 13, 2013 at 7:33 PM Good one sweetie pie and glad you found your face..... Jack Ellison March 13, 2013 at 9:05 PM Coming from you...

Timothy Hicks March 13, 2013 at 12:05 PM The images this puts in my head are hilarious! I, too, feel the same way when I admire a beautiful sunset or even when I share my poetry over Facebook!

Russell Sivey March 13, 2013 at 7:01 AM LOL! This is too funny my friend! You have delighted me to no end with this write Jack! I loved reading this tremendous poem this morning! You have presented a hilarious piece, such a humorous poem, and I must say, there is nothing wrong with being in touch with your feminine side! I never pay any attention to anyone that tries to make fun of me or anyone with a softer side of their life...we have a much richer life, I believe we are the actual man, the one with a sensitive side! Awesome Work!! Jack Ellison March 13, 2013 at 8:33 AM There's "being in touch with your feminine side" and there's "being in touch with your feminine side" LOL From one MAN to another... cheers!

Joe Flach March 13, 2013 at 6:27 AM "I'm a Lumberjack and I'm okay" - if there is any Monty Python fan in you, you know what that refers to. Very funny and entertaining poem Jack. Thanks for the laugh. Jack Ellison March 13, 2013 at 8:31 AM MONTY PYTHON!!! I was one of their BIGGEST fans! Michael Palin was my favourite guy but they all had their own uniqueness! Miss 'em! Thanks Joe!
