  now you've missed
    you must speak
                                :
                                      "Why did you go away?"
                                          (Shh, Jack,      it had to be
                                            this way.
                                                                  Just play your jacks.)

                                                                        :
                                        "Betty,          why can I see you and they can't?"
                                                  (Jack,              you mised four.)

                                                                Bounce the ball
                                                                        :
                                        "I'm not growing up because you'll go away."
