Two Sides of Jack
Most people have a second side
A side that's not always sunny
I have two sides like everyone else
But my both sides are funny
Haven't a clue how it happened
My parents were normal folks
Don't remember them ever being silly
Or even telling some jokes
Sure glad I have this “silly” gene
Life's a lot easier to endure
Can't imagine waking up with a scowl
Foreign to me for dang sure
Guess I'm one of the lucky dudes
Passing along just one thing
Think of your life without any winter
A life that's eternally spring
That's how Jacko survives each day
Pushing negatives off the cart
It certainly ain't that damn difficult
Think positive right from the start
They say everyone has a second side
Mine is giggles either way
An example of a truly fortunate soul
With laughter and fun every day!
