His name rhymes with cake,
Sweet not only for my sake,
But also tender
While showing his own splendor,
While making love in shower.
In the boy's sleeping bag
A tiny snake
He was seven
His name was Jake
Jake sneaked him into his mama’s car
When she saw him petting it, she did not drive far
Jake was an unlucky man
Three of his wives had been murdered
Not at the same time of course
One in Georgia in 1972
One in Alabama in 1975
One in New Mexico in 1979
He collected lots of insurance money
They had all been heavily insured
So that was lucky
This was before the FBI and police officers were online
Before people and police stations had computers.
He might get caught if he tries to do it now.
I think of this when I see Jake
An unlucky man
Who has lost three wives through murder.
Could this really be a coincidence?
It was mid-dawn.
A calm wind swept by.
Jesus sat on a flat rock,
His face in his hands.
Jake, his PR guy,
Rushed up to him.
He unfolded a poster of Jesus,
Smiling with his arms out for embrace.
"Whaddya think?" asked Jake. "It'll be huge!"
"I can't do that," said Jesus.
"How else are you gonna get the word out
And win the people over?"
"Love." said Jesus.
"You can't love everyone," said Jake.
"Why not?" asked Jesus.
"It's impossible," said Jake. "It's too many people."
"I am compelled to do so," said Jesus.
"Just as you were compelled to make those posters,
I am compelled to love everyone down here."
"Good luck with that," said Jake,
Walking down the mountain now
Into the village below.
Jesus watched
As the glow of the moonlight
Tracked Jake down the hill
Like some unsung angel
Needing light to fuel his soul.
the McCloud brothers stood back to back
shooting at the approaching villains
two of their cousins ran out with guns to help
when the shooting was all done, six lay dead
When you pin a star on McCloud, you get six
Mill town knew that when they hired their new sheriff
Jake
Jake is a snake.
He is three feet long.
One day he will be
five more.
We found him in the barn,
he was lost among the hay bails,
trying to find a home to stay for a time.
He was very thin, so we took him in.
Jake loved to live with my man and I,
he got fed critters every day.
He gives my man's mom the jitters
just as often.
He is fatter now, and happy.
We tried to let him go, but he hissed "NO"!.
You sure about sitting on a tile roof? Jake asked his cousin Reflection.
Jake was not a risk taker, but they had a connection.
Meet me when the moon is ready, she said and you will feel the cool.
The brick tile roofs in Arizona go down in temperature daily as a rule.
Jake trusted Reflection but he was still a little wobbly about the risk.
He was a persnickety tomcat who swept his messy alley with a whisk.
You will love it, she reassured him. I would not lie about the moon.
He planned his climb up to the roof not one single second too soon.
Reflection was already up there, meowing her heart out in the night.
He climbed up and parked himself beside her; enjoying the moonlight.
Hey! What is all that caterwauling? A neighbor asked in a mean way.
The cousins thought it was funny; he was old Grouchy Mister McMay
Their youngest boy, they call him one-eye Jake
He was as means as a black mamba snake
Cursed like a landlocked sailor
Took a job as a county jailor
Made all the money a good thief can make.

Big Jake
Limerick: by Miracle Man
October 5, 2021
A man affectionately known as big Jake,
thought by most to be another big flake.
But people would whimper,
when Jake lost his temper,
for Jake would rather fight than eat cake.
An enterprising widowed woman is Abby McClure.
She owns and operates a lumberyard, and is financially secure.
Her sister Maxine can't stand to see Abby unattached.
She knows a man named Jake Iverson, and gets them matched.
Jake has a daughter, and Abby has three boys.
All of the children are considered great joys.
However, the marriage requires everyone to make adjustments.
This puts this newly-formed family into unusual predicaments.
Do you think this union will work out successfully?
All you have to do is watch the movie.
Based on the 1968 film "With Six, You Get Eggroll"
Who is jake cosmos aller?
You asked me
Who am I?
And thanks for asking me
I am jake cosmos aller
The only
65 years old
Retired from the government service
Living in Korea
Grew up in Berkeley, California
Lived all over the world
Did so many things
And now I am a published writer
But what is more important is this
45 years ago,
I met my love in a dream
She walked out of that dream
Almost 40 years ago
That was the date
I met my fate
And started my life
With the love of my life
Who became my wife?
In the end
That is all that matters
My friends.

Old gorgeous Jake is completely in love
Hours he stares and hears a turtledove.
One weekend he never leaves her alone.
He stays in there with a well-used comb.
He goes nowhere, eats nothing at all.
He stretches and preens and stands so tall!
His parents are tearful and truly fear
He’ll never fall out of love with his mirror.
There once was a man named Jake
He had a great fear of a snake
He thought he saw one
Took a knife, to be done
A garden hose, it was a mistake

There was once a clumsy guy named Jake
He was friends with my big cousin Blake
That taught kung fu drunk
Kept boos in the car trunk
Graduates couldn't fight none, no beefcake
Jake was only a stud in his huge head
Wife divorced him because he wet the bed
She took the house and Car
He moved into the bar
Teaches yoga with one student, bro Fred

I am jake Cosmos Aller the one an Only poetry super highway prompt
I am Jake Cosmos Aller the one and only
when people meet me they are transformed
by my spirit my compassion and my dreams
as all I meet fall under my spirit
I look into their eyes bewitching their souls
as they bewitch my soul as well
becoming mad kindred spirits
walking on the road of life itself
going together no one knows where
it will all end but we will get there as one spirit
united by my cosmic spirit
understanding grows as we converse
deep into the night with each glass of wine
we dive deep into the cosmos inspired by name
