Blind Jake
Blind Jake graduated from school, university bound his he
Blind Jake has come so far, without the ability, pleasure or who knows in his head, maybe even a god given gift not to see, the horrors of this world
Blind Jake has a guiding star, a £45.000 grant per annum, applied, pestered, raised, begged for, submitted, approved and enforced to continue his education
Blind Jake has done well in this welfare state "lets give it to the kids that deserve it" learning system
Blind Jake has to leave his dad, his dad is very sad
Blind Jake has always and always will be his baby, his lad
Blind Jake knows that the powers that be, have come to this decree, that blind Jake must leave home and go it alone, if blind Jake it to make it in the world on his own
Blind Jake knows more about computers than many an able bodied PC type trainspotter
Blind Jake knows how the architecture of PC's work, the Bios, bus, motherboards, power units, even the silly inbuilt fans that stop the giblets of the PC getting hotter and hotter
Blind Jake has taught himself how to master the electronic keyboard with a skill and talent so rare
Blind Jake fills the air with notes of beauty that makes all around that hear, stop and stare
Blind Jake will have to kiss his sisters goodbye and go
Blind Jake will shake his dads hand and say, Thank you, I love you dad but then that you know
Goodbye blind Jake, goodbye and god bless , educate yourself and come back, even a more than better man than you are now
Goodbye blind Jake, we will miss your joy and laughter, your fun and smile when you go
but then again, blind Jake, that you know ***
