Jack Ellison Poet Couplet

The World Is My Oyster

The world is my oyster I've heard it said
Not a fan of oysters how about chocolate instead

Or delicious french fries smothered in ketchup
For an omelette with home fries, early I'd get up

Do you feel a theme running through my words
Not addicted to the yummies, that's totally absurd

Granted they sometimes take over my thoughts
But so does kissing really like that a lot

Or even just sitting and gazing at the moon
With the love of my life, making me swoon

Guess what I'm saying is enjoy what you have
Some don't have anything makes me feel sad

How fortunate to know we're safe in our homes
Some don't know if their homes they still own

The bottom line is give thanks every day
Hopefully that will keep your troubles at bay

Carol Eastman October 16, 2013 at 11:09 AM I'm one of the fortunate ones around here. Got to keep my home. Around me a 1/3 to a 1/2 of the homes were lost when people lost their jobs... It's simmered down at the moment... 8 homes were forclosed on at a time in a 2 block radius This kept up for about 2 years... It would have happened to me when I lost my job after 30 years but I got on disability instead... There were 2000 people lined up for 1 job for a while... That's better too. The middle class is almost gone here. Always be Thankful. Jack Ellison October 16, 2013 at 12:33 PM That is devastating news my dear Carol! Certainly glad you were able to keep your home... must be so devastating for those other folks! :(
