The tale of a man persecuted, abused, confused but resolute. This poem is more about the words that are missing than those that are present.
Jack I want to write a poem, Jack A tribute to your Craic, Jack That gets you there and back, Jack, Tell me, do you hear, Jack? And can you tell me what, Jack, I can use to rhyme with Jack, Jack? The meter can't be slack, Jack Please help me, any thoughts, Jack? I saw you on the course, Jack I saw you at the track, Jack But you're not coming back, Jack Not even on your own, Jack Will you be in the town, Jack? Hanging at the shack, Jack And all the bric-a-brac, Jack We'll all be having fun, Jack But you are not so sure, Jack Some things are out of whack, Jack And some things seem to lack, Jack And never do forget, Jack I'm running with the pack, Jack But I can call you back, Jack I'll keep you smiling back, Jack And never call you black, Jack

I don't know Jack. But if I did, I would tell you that I enjoyed this little bit of wordplay, so if my friend, Jack. But then, Jack's dead, so what does it matter.
