Best Ellison Poems

Eighty two years young, but still a trooper,
pen writes daily, he's an evergreen souper.
Behold the limerick king and his wisdom,
providing laughs from his humorous kingdom.

Five posts a day, one is bound to make you smile,
some a little naughty, but that's his cheeky style.
Long before his...

I got the bad news today, we were loosing a friend.
One of our best Limerick writers Jack Ellison.
 Ailments are no surprise when growing older in age.
A new Chapter in Jacks life as he leaves, and turns the page.
 His Writings came from his heart,...

Found a new friend, her name is Jan

Though we live an ocean apart

The bond between us is as strong as any I've known

Our names are similar, our love of life is similar

We both love to laugh

Feel so blessed that our paths have crossed

These kind of...

Today's Jack's birthday he's eighty seven
He's not yet ready to go to heaven
Has a positive outlook
Writes funnies, go take a look
Hope his contributions never lessen.

He's the limerick King who wears the crown
Always smiling and never wears a frown
With the girls he's a big hit
And flirts...

Jolly is this man who fills our days with jubilingo and Jackanese
Affectionate and articulate with arms ageless as an ocean breeze 
Charming and cheerful, corky is not his choice of wine 
Kind in all that he does, with knowledge larger than life 
Empowering his enormous...

Jan Allison, Jack Ellison, believe it or not there's no relation
Both love to write about poop, do you see the correlation?
Canada and the Isle Of Man
A loving connection, this poetry clan
Joining hands across the seas, true love among nations...

Shhhhh I’ve been told a secret from a little bird
I can’t keep it any longer my words must now be heard

There’ll be jelly and ice...

Ralph Ellison is my Father,
For I am Invisible,
I am real, 
And I tire of people telling me different,
I am very real,
And yet Invisible,
I am the frailty of a man who is not allowed to feel,
For I am an appendage of other people's feelings,
I am a...

It hung so limply like Niagara
Doc told him to take some Viagra
Just one little blue pill
Gave his wife such a thrill
It sticks up so high it could stab ya



Inspired by Eve Roper’s and Jack Ellison’s poems

He’s convinced me he’s eighty years old,
and he must be with the stories he’s told,
many border on rude,
but none I’d call crude,
from the man with a heart of pure gold....

Writing of limericks he sure has a knack
Since he is gone I'll pick up the slack
I need a big word
Something really absurd
To keep us in stitches until he is back...

There once was a guy named Jack
Who daily brings Christmas back
As he makes the rounds
With his humorous sounds
We're  off to his house too unpack!...

I know an old Gent, who
I call my friend. His
humorous content, brings
me back and again.

He is witty and charming,
and the Ladies all love him.
They call him their darling.

He's one of my favorites,
on Poetry Soup. Some think
he is a genius. Some think
he's a kook.

His talents are...

"If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing!" 
-Always Look On the Bright Side of Life by Eric Idle, from Monty Python

Kind, hilarious, loving, humble,...
