Jack Ellison is 90 today

Blog Posted by Tom Cunningham: 8/11/2025 12:59:00 AM

Happy 90th birthday Jack.

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 and through.

I hope that he has a lovely birthday today
And hope that everything goes his way
I've enjoyed banter with him over the years
We've had plenty of laughs and shed a few tears.

So, raise your glass and let's have a toast
To a fine gentleman and poet that's no idle boast
He has lots of friends on here, so I hope you'll join me
In letting Jack know he's a valued member of this community

So you’re in the 90s club. Hi Jolly cheers to that! A banjo playing nonagenarian no less. You and Elvis were born the same year. Speaking of which, my pet mouse died last night. He was caught in a trap.
