Little Jack Horner sat in the corner

didn’t use a fork

and all the little girls knew

he wasn’t a good boy

Jack be nimble – Jack be quick

Jack poked a woman with a stick

never trust a politician

who obsesses with his hair

Jack and Jill went up the hill

to fetch a pail of water

we all know that was lie

Jack Benny played his violin

outside the house that Jack built

while Jack Kennedy played inside

and pretty little Jackie said O

Jack Nicholson ate Cracker Jacks

grinned his shit eating grin

and waited his turn outside

Jack Sprat loved his wife

don’t judge another’s love

let’s leave it at that

Irish Jack O’Lantern was a Jack of all trades

avoided Jack the Knife and Jack Frost

nibbling at his nose

for all the obvious reasons

Jack London called to the wild

wrote of snow and dogs

let’s be honest Jack needed to come in

out of the cold a long, long time ago

Jack the Giant Killer was a hero

not a liar or a thief and didn’t need

magic beans, a beanstalk and a ax

Jack Palance acted a bad ass

Jack Johnson didn’t have to act

and that’s a fact Jack
