Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Your Greatest Thrill Ever

What's the greatest thrill you've ever had
You probably have more than one
Try keeping it clean, my dear, dear people
This may be read by some young'uns

Wanna know mine, well of course you do
This goes back to when I was courting
My very first kiss, I can still feel the thrill
Loved messing around and cavorting

Sure blew my whistle as I rounded the bend
Snorting and huffing and puffing
The top of my head started shooting out steam
And I lost a bunch of my stuffing

Oh to go back and experience them again
Those glorious days of my youth
Unfortunately they're gone and long forgotten
Gonna down another gin and vermouth
