Jack WAS Nimble

Jack was nimble...
Jack was quick...
Jack once jumped over a candlestick.

But time flies,
and the world turns.
What an embarrassing place for third degree burns.

After a certain number of years, you would think Jack would have more sense than to go jumping over candlesticks - lol!
