JACK JACKIE

"Life is yours...live it" -Jack Jackie-

He swished and swigged his can of cold beer,

Joy, jubilation abundant on his expression,

With his unkempt hair and his great big sneer,

This was a man who lived his life at full throttle

 

“Hey Jack! Hey Jackie! What was on last night?”

“The music went loud, and the lights were so bright!

 I danced with all the ladies, and then roused a huge fight!

That, my dear boy, is what I call a good time!”

 

“But Jack I thought last week was epic-er?”

“Past memories’ll stay put, t’make room for new glories!

But yes you’re dead right, last week was such a blur!

Had too much damn fun, I’ll never forget the stories!”

 

“C’mon Jack Jackie our lives are too boring!

Tell us a great adventure that got us here in the morning!”

“From France to the Everglades, from Holland to London,

I haven’t been ‘t a place as great as Japan!”

 

“See they sit on the floor while they take all their meals,

And dear Jackie Jack takes nothing lying down!

Cause I’m a real man! I’ll do whatever I please!

So I said HECK NO! With my scariest frown!”

       

“These displeased ninjas and samurais all offended,

Ol’ Jackie here went ahead and got their rules all bended!

They started hollering Jap! Wasting all their good sake*!

Coming up to my table, looking like Brewster Pagett!”

 

“They drew all their swords, and got into their stances.

The restaurant suddenly packed, with an effervescent crowd!

They could smell foreign blood, disgracing all their fancies!

So they cheered real hard, and got a lil’ too rowdy! ”

 

Taking another swig Jackie smiles into the distance,

“C’mon Jack Jackie! Finish th’ tale right this instant!”

“That’s the funny thing lads! To my awe and displeasure,

I remember only waking up to seven women and crazy leisure!”

 

“JACKIE JACK YOU DAMN BA*****!!!!!!!!”

[Marie Harrison]

I saw the meaning of it. To me they were recognizing the emptiness in their antics. It wasn't bringing any adventure to their lives. I really liked this piece. Very creative.

I suck at reviewing poetry, but I did like this piece. Great work - you are quite talented when it comes to writing sophisticated poetry.
