Fat Jack Falstaff
That he is old more the pity
His white hairs do witness it
If food, wine and beer be a fault
Then God help the wicked
But for a sweet Jack Falstaff
Kind Jack Falstaff
True Jack Falstaff
Valiant Jack Falstaff
Therefore more valiant
Being as he is old Jack Falstaff
Banish not him from your friendship
Banish plump Jack
Then banish all the world
My apologises to Shakespeare !
An adaption from Henry IV
