Jack Ellison Poet Couplet

The New Me

So now what, where do I go from here
I'm wandering around feeling a bit weird

People that I know don't know how to act
Thinking my spirits has finally cracked

Not so, I welcome this new change of scene
I'm drinking more coffee, it's becoming routine

It's similar to finally stopping to smoke
After forty long years for fear that I'll croak

Well wish me luck, I need your support
Hope I don't go weird and begin to cavort

Wearing lots of makeup and leather that rocks
Playing air guitar with long flowing locks

If that starts to happen, I'll revert to the funnies
Hopping around like a pregnant bunny

Hang on a minute, I think that was funning
Well sneaky old me, how utterly cunning

Carol Eastman July 13, 2015 at 1:02 PM The new me keeps showing up in my mirror... Right next to a cute baby Dragon... A Crafty Grandpa Troll... and this cute young thing that calls me Wiffy Poo. Why doesn't Hubby get any older? Is this a guy thing? My Dad looked young... They kept telling my Mom she could bring her kids in with her... One of them was my DAD!Think they're about to do it with me, too... If they do... I'll get a lot of fun saying... 'Hurry up Young un'... Guys always HATE when their wimen do that to them... LOL Jack Ellison July 14, 2015 at 1:55 PM I try not to see my reflection in the mirror any more... don't recognize that guy anymore! LOL xxx
