Three Eyed Jack

Well here's a story about three eyed Jack
He had two in the front and one in the back
Some people said that it had to be a sin
Cause he could see where he's going and see where he'd been

Though I have to admit, it was kinda creepy
Cause when one was awake two would be sleepy
When he walked down the street he was always grinin'
Cause the eye in the back was checkin' out the women

One eye was blue and the other two green
Though the eye in the back was seldom seen
When he played hide and seek he knew where you hid
Cause the eye in the back didn't have no lid

Everytime he cried his hair would get soaked
Cause the eye in the back was always cloaked
Everything I told you in this story is true
Believe it or not it's up to you

Well that's the story of three eyed Jack
If you pass him on the street you better watch your back

LOl Funny! ...My mom used to tell the kids she had an eye in the back of her head. Of course, I had to tell my kids the same thing! :)

LOL Very clever, Larry. But don't worry, I've got "your back." Love, Carolyn
