Don't ask me what the heck this is
For I have no idea !!!! lol....
I used the old folk tales about the
Jack O Lantern thing
to write a poem for Halloween...
Jack 'O Lantern
My name is Jack the drunken trickster
No place in heaven, not welcome in hell
God has denied me, the Devil took revenge
Me and my tricks in the end tole the bell
I fooled so many and was o so proud
God's kingdom was never spent on me
I had even the nerve to trick the Devil himself
As I lured him smartly into a tree
I carved a cross in the stem as a trap
and Satan was stuck high on a branch
I made him promise to never trick me again
Sold my soul and he left with a stench
I roamed through life fearing no lie nor trick
so many poor people were victims of mine
I was never worried and never did think
When i would drink my last glass of wine
But mr. Death came to get me, O boy, did I pay
I had no place to be warm, nice and comfy
The heavens despised me for screwing their rules
and the Devil remembered his humiliation in the tree
Doomed to roam through the nothing inbetween
No angels, no demons with me to be seen
The Devil gave me a lantern, I'm doomed to return
Once a year as Jack O Lantern on the day of Halloween
