Poem
We said goodbye You and I Tossed a coin Who would cry You won Time went by You went on to marry Joe I got blown up From head to toe Along came baby, Jill Your pride and joy Such a thrill I started the long road back With a dummy leg, I nicknamed Jack It was hate at first sight Throwing him down every night Sadly, Joe passed away Your life crashing down That fateful day Jack and I changed tact We sort of made a little pact I wouldn’t throw him down If he walked straight on the ground You came to terms with your loss Went back to work Still the boss Now you and little Jill Moving on, moving still I had finally trained Jack to run Not very far, granted He still moaned at will But I told him straight Tomorrow the hill The sun was shining Good day to go out Drive into the country Out and about Right Jack, today’s the day Do not upset me in any way Just try to keep straight Is that okay Mummy, look at all the sheep A cow, goats Mummy, horses too What’s that, Mummy Jack decided to leave him on the downside of the hill Rejoining him at the bottom Leg with no thrill I swear to god I will shoot you dead Looking up at an Angel and a little girl in dread Been a long time, Tony Still running I see Hope when you said shoot You weren’t meaning me No I was talking to Jack my leg He hasn’t quite mastered running yet Reminds me of a girl I once knew Oops, that girl would be you So you called your leg after me That’s real sweet Maybe that’s why she keeps leaving you Wouldn’t you agree I think you could be right Having had lots of time to reflect in the small hours of the night So, who’s this lovely little girl This is my daughter, Jill I know what you’re thinking This fairytale came true They got back together Like they’re supposed to do Alas not Well, not till Jack mastered getting down on one knee I mean, how hard can it be.
