The Return of Jack of All Trades

We all knew Jack or someone like him, But we thought time had passed by him, We even sang the odd hymn, To mark the passing on of him. But alas he has returned to carry on where he left off Knowing every job the ins and outs of. That others could not finish off, Despite many views to the contrary of, By those cleaning up after he had moved off, To tell others what he never knew the half of. I came across him the other day, And he still had the same old things to say, About how others did not know how to work with clay, Or who should have right of way, And that he was able to bring what was needed into play, Faster than I could say, I'm finished for the day. Now he has a family of his own, For us to bemoan.

How right you are David, JACK OF ALL TRADES HAS RETURNED AND I HAVE EVEN SEEN Joans of all trades and Sues of all trades, not to be left out of anything! In fact they have sprung up everywhere as long as they can get the Job done! Thank you for your comments and keeping in touch, very kind and sweet of you. HOPE THE FAMILY IS ALL WELL. Blessings, Jennifer.
