77. My Dream Friend Jack © Hélène Levasseur

I’M SO PROUD OF JACK
HE’S WONDERFULLY BLACK
HE JOKES LIKE A CRACKER-JACK
SO SMART BUT NOT A GIMCRACK

HE’S SO AGILE AND CAN HORSEBACK
RIDING HORSES IN NIGHTS PITCH-BLACK
HE VENTURES FORTH NEVER SWITCHING BACK
HE IS HUMBLE AND CAN WISECRACK

PERHAPS YOU’LL MEET MY FRIEND JACK
EVERYTHING HE DOES IS LIKE A KNACK
WE’RE LUCKY THAT HE CAN HI-JACK
PEOPLE’S HEARTS WITH NO ATTACK
