WHEN JACKIE COMES TO VISIT
Dedicated to Phillip
We always have so much fun
When Jackie comes to visit.
At any time of the year
She brings happiness and cheer.
She packs homemade treats to eat.
When she bakes, I can't compete.
She wallops me in Scrabble
But I still like to dabble.
Last time she brought her music
Which she thought was fantastic.
It must have been quite classy
Though I thought it was crassy.
I have no right to comment
And will probably lament
Since Jackie's such a good friend
Whom I should never offend.
I could not really focus;
It irked me like a ruckus.
Next time I will light the fire.
We'll play songs from Jackie's choir.
I will serve warm ginger beer.
'Tis the right time of the year.
If you would like to join us
You must take the North Pole bus.
