Belabourin' Jack (Free verse) by middenHeap
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick,
Jack jump over the candlestick!
(One time Jack was not so quick,
And now he has a hairless dick)
Jack youâve got to take good care,
When you jump the candleâs flare,
For if youâre too long in the air,
The flame will scorch your derriere!
Jack be nimble, Jack be fast,
When you jump the gaslightâs blast,
For when you jumped the gaslight last,
Your scrotum didnât make it past!
Now listen Jack, you need good speed,
When jumping street lights is your deed,
For if you miss the height you needâ
The bulbs will break and make you bleed!
Jack go easy, take a breakâ
Jumpingâs not a piece of cake!
Just think how long your legs would take,
To heal again, if they should break!
Listen, Jack, take my adviceâ
Iâve jumped a candle once or twiceâ¦
Iâll tell ya, Jack, it just ainât nice,
When your jumpingâs not precise!
Jack jumps higher, Jack jumps far,
Jack can jump a speeding car!
Jackâs a jumper without par,
Jackâs a jumping superstar!
Jack, you know Iâve heard them say,
That jumping candles is passéâ
Oh, they were fine for yesterday,
But now they jump the laserâs ray!
Jack be nimble, donât be slow,
When you leap the laserâs glow,
âCuz Jackie, if you jump too low,
Your balls will surely meet with woe!
Of being lonely, Jack was tired,
And in his life a mate required,
So a kangaroo he hired,
Which jumped all night, and never tired!
Once when Jack was feeling bored,
He visited the psycho ward,
The doctors there said, âOh my lord!
This oneâs surely off his gourd!â
âJack,â they said, âYouâre highly stressed,
And we think you are depressed!
We insist you take this test,
To see if you should be our guest!â
âDoc,â said Jack, âLet me explain:
There are no problems with my brain!
I donât jump âcuz Iâm insaneâ
I do it just to entertain!â
âFrom far and wide folks come to watch,
And though my jumping is top-notch,
I know theyâre wondering as they watch,
Just what will happen to my crotch!â
âHairless Jackie is my nameâ
And Iâm the best at jumping flame!
Iâve risked my private parts for fameâ
To lock me up would be a shame!â
âWeâre sorry, Jack,â the doctors said,
âThereâs something wrong inside your head!â
If you donât stop youâll soon be dead,
Youâre safer here with us instead!â
Old Jackie took one look and saw
The whitecoats thought they were the law
And though it surely wasn't fair
They truly meant to keep him there
So Jackie gathered up his legs
(and wrapped one hand around his eggs)
Then over Drs. Grimm and Creep
Our hero lept a mighty leap.
He ran and ran and didn't stop
Or slow, the window through to hop
He ran like lightning down the road
His hand cupped o'er his manly load.
In other lands he kept on jumping
his nimble legs a'bravely pumping
long past the time he should retire
he kept on jumping over fire.
No longer nimble, not so quick
Jack still dared the candlestick
he still took chances with his dick
ever closer to the wick.
but finally Jack dared fate too far
like many another aging star
fans watched aghast the ambulance car
as they pulled him from the smoking char.
yes, Jack is finished, Jack is dead,
And this is how he died: (its said)
Towards a candle Jackie spedâ
But timed it wrong and smashed his head.
