One Jack in the Box

POETRY

3/8/2023

A cuckoo clock,

One jack in the box

Both strike sudden

All is calm and then...

When one turns their back

They go forth with an attack!

One jack in the box,

A cuckoo clock

There goes my mind.

But now I ask who, of any kind

Began to jump from behind?

Was it me or was it you?

Was it them?

Is it she or maybe it was he?

One jack in the box,

A cuckoo clock

and my mind.
