Jacks are Wild

Have you heard about Little Jack Horner,
The kid who always got put in a corner,
Because he stuck his thumbs in all the pies,
And afterwards told the most outrageous lie,
By proclaiming "What a good boy am I!"

Little Jack Horner went into politics
Where he became famous for dirty tricks,
Lying to his constituents,
And selling his political influence.

Have you heard about Jack BeQuick,
Who could jump over a candle stick,
He was a swift athlete
In the 100 yard dash,
But fell over his own feet
When he took out the trash.
