Jesus Jack O Lantern

Jesus Jack-o-Lantern sings louder than most I am his mama, and I am here to boast…. His alto voice is as great as anyone’s ever was. He sings better than grandpa, grandma and Cuz. Jesus is my baby, my delight, my happiness, my joy. I am ever so proud of my sweet loving darling baby boy. The women line up from most of the towns around. To hear his lovely voice singing with notes up and down. The rest of us have children, but we were too shy to brag. As soon as she left the quilting circle one said “she’s a drag”. Always boasting and bragging, it is really a shame. I said “maybe one day we will be thrilled that we know his name”.
