Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

The Sunny Side of Life

Always look on the sunny side
The sunny side of life
It's where you'll forever find me
Life's just one big slice

A slice of joy and happiness
Waiting for you to call
Doesn't even require a passport
It's there to welcome all

A thousand times more enjoyable
Than stumbling round in a funk
Your step will have a much livelier gait
You'll smile a whole big bunch

All are capable, my very good friends
Matter of mind over matter
If you think positive and grin each day
Happy genes will get much fatter

Now it's very well known knowledge
Happy genes can go a long way
To extending your days here on earth
And be a much happier stay!

Demetrios Trifiatis October 1, 2013 at 1:43 PM Jack, my friend, your presence is a testimony of your words! I am certain you are going to be one hundred years and ten for joy is your middle name and you are never scared! Wonderful my friend! Jack Ellison October 1, 2013 at 5:49 PM Hmmm not sure about the one hundred and ten promise but if I make it, I'll still be on Poetry Soup. However, you may not be able to make any sense out of it! LOL Thanks as always, my good friend! Jack

Carol Eastman October 1, 2013 at 8:55 AM There's always something to laugh and smile about here... Everyone is still a chuckle over the gutter frog... I'd climb a tree, too... If I was that small... Trolls and Dragon have rather large feet... He's been chirping at us every since we took him from the gutter... The Weird frogs translated that as... Stupid humans cleaned out my home! But he forgave us... With our trees he'll have his gutter home fixed up real quick... LOL... Doesn't say much for our keeping the gutters clean., tho... LOL Carol Eastman October 1, 2013 at 10:41 AM 2nd floor Roof Gutters... Yep! Jack Ellison October 1, 2013 at 8:57 AM I was thinking roof gutters... am I right? LOL Hugs and a bunch of love xoxoxoxox
