Jake Ends It All

Jake Ends It All By Elton Camp Alice, his wife, was the plague of his life Poor Jake felt he couldn’t stand the strife He took a pen and made out a note And the following is what he wrote “Your constent criticisum is more than I can stand. So I’ve decided that I should die by my own hand.” For him to continue living there was no use So he carefully suspended a hangman’s noose Then Jake placed the rope tightly over his head He kicked away the chair and soon he was dead When Alice came and found him hanging there, The note pinned to his chest she read with care That Jake was correct anyone could easily tell She said, “‘Constant criticism’ you did misspell.”
