A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life. ~ Hugh Sidey~

Dedicated to the humorist Ed Matlack

Our Court Jester

He is our court Jester with a smile and a grin

Coursing the page with his thoughts our chagrin

Many a smile and a question mark left

To all the poets he’s left and bereft

Through all his prose and his poems his mind seeks

Gathers his thoughts and releases them Eeek!

However we look to them for this great smile

While he is posting his thoughts and his whiles

Un-caged he’s running from John’s power net

Laughing and running throwing prose to him catch

But laugh we do so, and we comment and hark

Actually man you are rather smart!

So daily we look to see what more is said

And shake in our boots for what enters our head

But it is all good as we say harmonically

A poet and friend throughout here we all be!

But to look under the write is the poets’ own task

Sometimes we all carry our thoughts under mask

For wit and intelligence surely he bears

A thinker, a jester, a comrade he shares

So my dear fellow please tarry this way

For we all look forward to your prose every day

Enlighten our lives with your humor and wit

Never to worry you are gifted at this!

Carolee Dennis-Woosley

You must know this man very well Lily, he must have a very good sense of humor. My husband did, he always shared his smile to others and old stories. I miss him. It's good to have the gift of humor and make others smile dear. Edith

You know, it's an honor title to be court jester and very few are worth to carry that name. Ed is one of those very few and according to his smile he knows it. A beautiful tribute Carolee

I don't know this guy Lily, but it looks like I need to! This was funny, but also insightful to him! Thanks a great write! Mark

Yes that guy, Ed Matlack, surely is gifted at something, but what that is, he has no idea...whether he is high or str8, I truly think he would be better to work for a shop that has tackle & for him specifically to wrap bait...?




Reviewed by Felix Perry	6/29/2012

Well you definately capotured the spirit and the heart of Ed...well done. fee




Reviewed by John Domino	6/29/2012

A very though provoking poem Carolee. Well done! I love Ed's character. I enjoy his humor too. For laughter lifts us up when we are sad and blue. But we should never forget. The oceans changing tides. For The Lord God knows our happiness and our pain. He knows all of our feelings deep down inside. Ed once joked about not wanting to be like a mother. He will never be that, because Ed is a spiritual brother. Peace, Love, and Blessings, John Michael Domino
