Canadian Jack the Poet

Poet Jack with entertaining pen so bold
Continually writing to keep out the cold,
Likes those limericks short and sweet,
Loves the ladies, makes his heart beat,
Writing keeps young Jack from growing old.                 


authors note: dedication to a man that entertains the world

Jack is my cyber brother - we share a similar sense of humour, have similar surnames and even our beards are the same lol:-) It was so so lovely to see his name on the list when the contest was finalised - i had no idea who had written any of the poems until I pressed the button and the list appeared:-)Hugs Jan xx
