Notes About The Poem

Happy Jacks 84th Birthday

Jacks from Montreal in case you don't know
Likes a laugh and in his work it does show
Been around a long time
Enjoys composing rhyme
If you want humour then to his page go.

Shame we can't all get together and sing
Happy birthday to soups limerick king
He's eighty four today 
Sending greeting's his way
To this site laughter and joy he does bring .

...............................................................................

And a bonus one as its his birthday.

Jack hails from the land of milk and honey 
Drives a Porsche and is loaded with money
He's quite the ladies man
Has a bright orange tan
Makes the girls go all giggly and funny.

                       HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK.

Great tribute to Jack, Tom, in wonderful limerick form! Enjoyed your comment re Relief Behind A Tree. True story based on my service with the Air Force in Bermuda. Gus was our squadron boozer. He always tapped me for a loan near the end of the month for funds to satisfy his thirst but he was always faithful in paying me back come pay day! Bob
