Longneck Cassidy, my hero from the fifties A giraffe so charming his talent quite nifty Picking apples was a breeze Lower branches on his knees Remembering him makes my eyes go washy wishy

Jack wanted to be an ice hockey star, but he was too stocky by far, became a sumo wrestler, Canadian Hustler, but got crushed, decided not to spar!
