Notes About The Poem




Short Shorts

How boring to write about love all the time But it does make the world go round First thing every morning and last thing at night My mind is romance bound A mushy old man who's long past his prime For the old urge I'm never bereft The sight of a young girl in very short shorts Can still makes me catch my breath Guess until they finally nail down my casket And bury me in the ground I'll still love the sight of a beautiful woman It will still send me heaven bound It's the way it's been and always will be As long as pretty girls cavort Makes us males think of a tussle in the hay To an afternoon of pleasure it transports I'm terribly sorry, sure got carried away Remembering how virile I once was When you're as old as me it's all I have left These sweet images makes me blush © Jack Ellison 2014

Another goodie! ( 8 Much enjoyed once again. I guess we get older, but we're always human. Hehe. It's interesting to see things from other people's point of view. I've always appreciated the lighthearted, conversational tone of many of your pieces. It's very comfortable for the reader and entertaining. Aways, Laura

Hah! My friend I absolutely, one hundred and one percent relate. The pretty girls are aware of us old timers watching them, I've seen many a quick smile on their faces at the knowledge they are being checked out.
