Rent a Poetry Man

Here ye! Here ye! Here ye! Starting a new business I am “Rent A Poetry Man” I call it I'll come to your house in a van For a nominal fee of just a dollar I will fashion a poem for you To suit any happy occasion So you'll remember the do I will offer a cute little ditty Even give it a tune if I must But I expect as part of the deal You will offer me cake I trust So look me up, let's make a deal I'm in the book under “P” It stands for happy “Poetry Man” It describes this bloke to a “T” © Jack Ellison 2014

... who knows? You could start a brand new fad. I agree with Andrea... it's cute and quirky. Hope to "C" you on the billboards soon with your new found business :)

This is cute, Jack. I once thought of this for REAL and how neat it would be to have a business where you could spend your whole life writing poems for folks. That would be one job that would be a lot more play than work, don't you think?

What an amazing adventure that would be, eh! Oh well, Poetry Soup in itself allows us to pretend! Loving hugs... Jack XXX

Shush! If Dragon hears you... He'll give you no peace. He wants all the attention he can get. It's a Dragon thing. And whatever you do don't accept a ride as payment! He does whoop T Doos, and flys upside down! I told him your name Poetry Man is your new secret Super Hero name. He went and got a pen and paper so he can learn to be just like you! Who knows... It might keep him out of trouble for a while... No! Dragon! you can't paint the Sheriff of CrazyLand as a villian, without his permission!

Oh Jack this is such a wonderful poem! Love love it, my friend;) You made my day tonight with this one. And by the way Jack you can come to my house with your van even if I don't need your services at the moment. My muse is okay for now and I don't want to upset her by making her feel less than useful... Just kidding with you now...we can compare notes at least for now okay. Lol...What color is your van anyway Jack? Does it fly by any chance? Lol...haaahaha... Lol. hugs! Love peace and light! xxxx D.

My van is in the shop for repairs but as soon as I get it back, I'll come visit! However, it would be good if I knew where you lived! LOL As far as whether it flies... of course it does! It's magic! Loving hugs, Jack XXX

I can't understand why this poem is still on the unread poems list since I see you have received some comments? I like to get poets off that list. I don't need your services right now, but give me a few years. Who knows when the muse will leave me. Blessings, Darlene
