Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Singing Yippy-Ki-O-Ki-A

It does our heart good to buy something new
Whether we need it or not
We need to bolster our psyche now and then
Or else we'll just turn to pot

Now there's an idea, start smoking some weed
To help us through this gig
We bravely get up in front of some friends
Wearing nothing but a wig

Makes you feel you could conquer the world
Be the ruler of all you survey
Have gorgeous women clawing at your chest
Singing yippy-ki-o-ki-a

Marijuana is still illegal in very many places
So watch out for the fuzz I say
But in spite of it all, I'll offer this advice
Be happy you can greet each new day

Carol Eastman June 22, 2015 at 10:32 AM We don't smoke pot here... We're already tooooo crazy as it is! I went dress shopping the other day. Now a days shirts are more like dresses... But at my age showing a little leg is not optional... So my dresses have pants suit combos... Don't want to scare any one into having a heart attack! The menagerie are all agreeing with me!... Honestly guys! You could lie just once... couldn't you?... Darn! I raised them to be too good! ... LOL Jack Ellison June 22, 2015 at 11:30 AM We don't do that stuff either... life is complicated enough!!! AND I've also stopped wearing dresses!!! LO xxxxx
