Jack Outside of the Box

So many people tried To keep jack in the box However it couldn't be done Nothing can stop him He goes his own way His goal is to always have fun A jokester for sure But he is never mean He always has a kind word to say If you stop for a visit And you are sad It's impossible to stay that way Wacky and wonderful Twinkle in his eye He hands out smiles and a laugh Taller then the tallest When it comes to spirit In fact he may be a giraffe Dedicated to my friend Jack Ellison, perhaps he can tell me what style this is.

Whatever style it is, it is fun, my mind was giving me all sorts of different jack in the boxes to visualize, what a treat!

A Jack outside the box is definitely more exciting and fun than one stuffed and kept inside the dark! thanks for sharing Richard and Jack-o

Richard; the poem is good, but I don't know if you are talking about Jack Elison or who. If it is him - I'm glad that he is out of the box. I guess it was him. I like him too. He is one of the good guys here. Thanks for sharing. Lucilla

OKAY! This is being filed away in a special place my friend! Can't find the words that would adequately describe our new found friendship... I am humbled by your words! Jack
