Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Yo Momma

Yo! Momma! Remember me?
I'm your sweet little loving son!
I know I'm not cute like the other kids
But my heart's as big as the sun

Yo! Momma! Remember me?
Could it be something I did?
Why'd you go and sell me to the zoo?
I've tried hard to be a good kid

Yo! Momma! Remember me?
Heard tell of a real nasty rumour
It's because I'm quite a bit different
Ever think I'm just a late bloomer?

Yo! Momma! Remember me?
Maybe one day I'll look like Brad Pitt
When I lose all this excess body hair
Your feelings of pride won't quit

Yo! Momma! Remember me?
Though I look a bit like an orangutan
Please let your son come back home
You'll be proud of your little man

Yo! Momma! Remember me?
I'm your sweet little loving son!
I know I'm not cute like the other kids
But my heart's as big as the sun

Wayland Bunch March 12, 2013 at 10:17 PM I actually knew somewhat of the canadian healthcare system from an old Dave Chapelle joke. Is plastic surgery covered? Lol, just kidding, you're very clever Jack and I'm sure you could write any form you wanted. Thanks again for your comment on my poem. NOW TELL ME YOU CHECKED OUT THE CLERIHEWS, lol, the ones titled some clerihews to make jack laugh or scoff lol. That was my attempt at some humor. Great work and humor here for sure.
