The Desolation of Jack
Jack’s a dimwit;
Jack’s a dunce
Should’a been smooshed,
Like those other runts.
Though Jack was brave
And self reliant,
His mom’s much tougher
Than a giant.
She cut him up,
She knocked him down
She called him a no-good,
Lazy clown.
And since that day
He’s lost his looks
He has trouble
Filling li’l black books
One golden egg’s left;
I’m afraid
Like Jack, no more eggs
Will e’er get laid
His dissipation
Wracked his ruin
No gamboling now;
There’s trouble brewin’
For soon he’ll starve.
Mate, say a prayer
For hapless Jack,
Ex-Giant-Slayer!
