Junk - Jobless Jack

Jobless Jack, a real jerk, dances a jig,
He juggles, smuggles jewels in backpacks,
jawbreakers, jump ropes, jelly rolls and crack.
~~Jig be up,  Jack'll  jiggle in the brig.~~

Junk jingles and jangles, squeals like a pig
jerked and jacked from joints on his pickup routes.
Amid crates of jackets, jeans, and jump suits,
Jobless Jack, a real jerk, dances a jig,

Jack jimmied the Jaguar trunk of some prig;               
 now Judge Judy’s searching Jack's jalopy.
“Jumping Jehoshaphat, what’s this jersey?"
~~Jig be up,  Jack'll  jiggle in the brig.~~

Jobless Jack, a real jerk, dances a jig,
her missing jersey was what the judge found.
~~Jig be up,  Jack'll  jiggle in the brig.~
