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! © Jack Ellison 2014

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.

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!!
