Playing Jacks

Jacks are played in Israel.
Jacks are played in Spain.
Jacks are played in Texas
And in the Florida rain.

Jacks are played in Korea
And played by kids like us.
Jacks are played in Hawaii.
Stop making all that fuss!

Jacks are played in Singapore.
Somalia and Zimbabwe too.
Jacks are played in Trinidad.
And probably Timbuktu.

It was just jazzy and prancy and instant.

They are in the smallish stores at resorts and the old fashioned dime stores if you can find one.
