Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

Whatcha Got To Lose

What is love, can anyone explain it

Is it something you can buy at the store

If you could, how much would it cost

Would it have a lifetime guarantee

What? No guarantee?

What if it breaks down within a short period of time

Well... you're just poop outta luck I'm afraid

But what if you just spent a pile of dough on a diamond ring

Just chalk it up to experience!

That doesn't sound like too good a deal to me

Aw just give it a shot... what could you lose

Not sure! Had my heart broken before

Took me years to get over it

You only get to go around once

Go for the gusto, grab the brass ring

Put your money where your mouth is and all that stuff

Whatcha got to lose!

Carol Eastman February 12, 2014 at 10:14 AM Dragon wants to know if the brass ring is shiny and if so... how can he get one.... Silly Dragon is always looking for more bling! He gathered up all the icicles yesterday and brought them to his cave... Yep, we heat it! And yep he's a fire Dragon... Come morning he was crazily running around wanting to know who had stolen his new stash of pretty bling. Gotta love him! How could he miss the fact that they're made of ice? Dumb Dragon! LOL... Me thinks a 2 year old needs a bit more common sense. Jack Ellison February 12, 2014 at 7:38 PM Don't tell Dragon I said this but he ain't the brightest Dragon there ever was! LOL XOXOXOX

Russell Sivey February 12, 2014 at 6:49 AM Yes! What do you have to lose? Love will be the greatest gift you can ever wish for, I would spend all my money to get to keep what I have now with my wife! I'm glad it's "free" to have this love! We have to give our love in order to receive love! I really enjoyed reading this delightful poem here this morning! What a grandiose piece, Great Work!!
