Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Smile All You Soupers

Hey all you Soupers
Did you take my advice
Smile at the world
Always try to be nice

Even when people
Are rude and obnoxious
Pretend you don't notice
Don't cause a big ruckus

The world is searching
For people like us
To show them the way
This way is a must

We sure can survive
The damage that's done
It isn't too late
Send the blues on the run

To start let's abolish
All the wars and strife
We weren't meant for that
Let clean up our life

We can start at home
A great place to start
More harmony there
Is good for the heart

Tell your loved ones
How much they all mean
You'll love their reaction
They'll burst at the seams

In closing I'll send you
Big hugs so humongous
You'll think I'm a bear
My hugs so rambunctious

Hey all you Soupers
Did you take my advice
Smile at the world
Always try to be nice

Poet Tacito August 24, 2013 at 7:58 AM YES SIR! It is all about the smiles! I smile grand for you & the other Soupers today. Now my face hurts. THANKS! ;-) Jack Ellison August 24, 2013 at 8:17 AM LOL The more ya smile... the less it will hurt! However I must warn you, there's a danger of your face freezing in that supersillious position. "supersillious"... is that a word??? Have a great day, my good friend!
