Gonna let you all in on a little secret
My real name isn't Jack at all
Charles is the name I was christened with
A late change caused a huge falderal
My seven older sisters ended up in a furor
A last minute change by my dad
Didn't go over well with the seven of them
So this joyful event became sad
His reason for making this last minute change
Was to honour his brother Charley
Who died a big hero in the first World War
Sisters thought the change was too tardy
So they decided to call me Jack anyway
In spite of dad's last minute switch
His reason for making this admirable change
Wasn't reason to change their wish
So keep on calling me Jack my good friendlies
It's stuck with me for 79 years
If you call me Charles, I can certainly guarantee
Won't answer unless I've had too many beers!
True story!

Is there any better sleep than an afternoon nap?
I think not, my Soup friendlies
Hands down, it's like I imagine what heaven is like
Not that I'm in any big hurry to make the trip
I really don't advise doing this if you haven't retired yet
Your boss could get a cranky old sod
Especially if you have your afternoon nap
In the middle of a very important client meeting
Perhaps then you might know what it's like to be retired
When I was much younger I envisioned retirement
As being “put out to pasture”
It ain't happened yet, I'm still full of “viss and pinegar”
As a hobby, I started searching some recipes online
And have made some tantalizing dishes
Which turned out pretty good for a rookie chef
Much to Cathie's delight I might add!
So my afternoon naps have been a lot less frequent recently
Along with writing poetry and cooking up a storm
I'm having to allot some special nap time
What a twist that's turned out to be!

Some days are diamond, some are stone
We all need a mix of diamonds and stones
Otherwise we would miss the comparison
If life was all diamonds, we wouldn't be able to
Handle those stone days
And all stone days, we would be on a suicide watch
The perfect mix produces balance
It produces happiness knowing
As bad as it gets, there's always better days ahead
I hear some of you saying, “Not in my life!”
Yes... in everyone's life or we wouldn't survive
Really think about your life
Unless your are in the .001% of the world's population
There have been times of exultation
And times when you didn't think it couldn't get any worse
Take heart my friendlies
If you're feeling down right now
Imagine how you'll feel when reaching the end
Balancing on the tightrope of life!

If you're feeling down right now
Imagine how great it will feel when you reach the other end
As we walk the tightrope of life!

Blankety blank blank blank
Blankety blank blank blank
So how do like my quatrain so far
Getting pretty low in the tank
To resort to this ridiculous bit of nonsense
Must be pretty damn desperate I'd say
You can fool some people some of the time
But never you friendlies each day
When juices stop flowing you'll know right away
One can spot it right off the bat
Obviously when I start that blankety blank stuff
Instead of love and all of that
Maybe I should take some word rhyming pills
But they're so damn expensive these days
Two thousand dollars for just twenty-five pills
Need a job as a gigolo to pay
Well I'm gonna end this blankety blank poem
Threw in a bit of smut ha ha
Got by the censors with that blankety blank stuff
They're freaking out, sure good for a laugh

Hello there my little friendlies
I'm Archibald Denton Frog
I'm here to tell you the story
Of Catherine Clemetine Clogg!
Clemmie as she's always been known
To a bunch of her closest friends
Has a wonderful talent for juggling
While sitting on her bottom end!
That may not sound so astonishing
But imagine the things she juggles
Kangaroos and a big mouth bass
And soap that causes big bubbles!
But awkward things like soccer balls
Or a pair of Grandpa's false teeth
A ten pound bag of Kibbles 'n Bits
Can certainly cause Clemmie some grief!
Let's give this lady a big hurrah
As she entertains all the wee kiddles
Keeps on juggling for many long hours
Till she finally needs to go piddle!
Oh my goodness did I say piddle?
What a naughty word I just uttered
That bar of soap is now in my mouth
Making me choke and sputter!
Archibald Denton Frog signing off
With a moral right at the end
Enjoy the talents of dear Clementine
But never use bad words that offend!

In the dictionary beside the word 'dementia'
Is a picture of your man Jackers
The description reads 'he's off his noodle'
This man is totally crackers
Not a sane thought in his whole damn noodle
Couldn't handle it if there was
Probably freak out and strip down naked
Run hell bent from the fuzz
Now Jackers shouldn't be judged too harshly
He's really a gentle old soul
Just that the years have caught up with old Jackers
He's no longer the one in control
So don't go feeling all depressed for this dude
He's a real happy camper inside
All he knows is he's loved by you friendlies
And he's just along for the ride
In the dictionary beside the word 'dementia'

Running hell bent from the fuzz
Now Jackers shouldn't be judged too harshly
He's really a gentle old soul
Just that the years have caught up with old Jackers

All he knows is he's loved by you friendlies
