Premium MemberJACK ELLISON IS NINETY YEARS OLD TODAY

August the eleventh is a very special day
Because happy Jack Ellison is ninety today
A talented musician he used to play the banjo
With the Canadiana singers, many years ago

A ladies' man with a keen eye for the fillies
Makes us all laugh with his limerick sillies
But Jack he can write serious poetry too
He's a proud Canadian through

Premium MemberOur Beloved Jack Ellison Bids Farewell

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, that were written by him.
Witty and silly Jack always left

Premium MemberThe Allison Ellison Bond

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 friendships are unique
They don't come along everyday
When they do, we

Premium MemberOld Nonsense - Jack Ellison

(Reply to Jack Ellison’s “A Secret Formula”
with my apologies)

Jack ruminates, one day past
no i shall not say his prime
an old duffer - no, a daffy duck
with a bit of luck in his bill
be careful passing about your specimen
oh c’mon soup, his mind
he’s no average joe, no joe
at all, but a happy chap
Jack thinks himself playing

Premium MemberHappy Birthday Jack Ellison - 87 Today

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 just a little bit
Hope his day's bright until the sun

Do great things and they'll name a street after you
Like the intersection of Ellison Ave and Winnie The Poo
Or your name in lights
On Broadway each night
Must decide, what other great thing you can do

Premium MemberJack Ellison Is 83 Today

The 11th of August is a special day
I’m sending good wishes Jack Ellison’s way
For it’s his birthday, he’s eighty three
He’s a great character I’m sure you agree
He writes limericks sometimes rude
Always funny but never crude
Serious poems he writes too
Jack just likes to entertain you
He is an asset to this group
The limerick king of Poetry Soup
So

Road Hit By Jack Ellison

Road Hit By Jack Ellison

Rough road we knew had been hit by jack;
And by the time he started coming back
Remember when,
Another Aeolian,
Brought more poems which were intact.

Aeolian Ellison wrote the poem.

Dedicated To Jack Ellison

Dedicated To Jack Ellison

What God did was make Jack admit,
That his life to Him he must commit;
As it endures,
Challenge is yours;
Writing many poems while you sit.

While Christ back to heaven was rising,
It was then that we had been realizing,
God, His Son raised,
Who we have praised;
Each day did have a delightful horizon.

There was someone who had

For Jack Ellison and More

Here A Buck and There A Buck

We never wanted to make a buck;
You and I have been nip and tuck;
Poems love writing;
Each other inviting;
Out more poems we should shuck.

(Before gold someone else struck.)

Premium MemberJack Ellison Tribute

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 Benny Hill transformation,
he was rocking this poetry soup nation.
First post

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

Vital For Verve of Jack Ellison

Vital for Verve of Jack Ellison

His vivacious signs had been vital
Then he went to a wild music recital
That for him was especially designed 
Having his limited memory in mind
And as usual forgot song and its title.
