He Don'T Know Jack

I signed up for beginner lessons at a gourmet cooking school Everything was going well at first; the chef was pretty cool Aroma of well-seasoned chicken parmesan made me drool But that was before the dramatic entrance of a silly fool Smilin' like the Cheshire Cat, his name was Dulydunnylac He went stridin' around the kitchen, callin' everyone, 'Jack.' We were dressed in white, but Duly said he only wears black Chef said, "Not here, you won't, and don't think of talking back." Duly mumbled as he made pasta, but I ignored his chit chat He made a dish with ginger; called it 'Gineramacolgeepat' The chef sniffed it before he took a bite, and then he spat No words spoken, but their eyes locked in scornful combat I created a dish in Duly's honor, and named it 'Egernomenality' which translated into, "Duly is eager but has no mentality" He took a bunch of swings at me with enthusiasm and vitality so I had him arrested and he'll appear in court for an illegality The whole class graduated, 'cept for Duly, that big surly fella We made spicy Florinella pizza, loaded with extra mozzarella but some classmates were turning the shade of yucky yella One by one we were hospitalized, suffering from salmonella

I knew the Jack, but then I guess we've all met him. God one Lin...

It makes me happy if it brought you laughter. It was written for another poetry site using those 4 nonsensical weird words. Thanks. Mick.

Yes! Coming into a room, acting like he knows it all and calling people names... Another blabber mouth, spouting off with nothing anyone wants to hear.
