Jack and the Beanstalk

You`ve heard of "Jack and the Beanstalk"

I`m sorry to say he not really that kind

for Jack was a greedy and nasty man

who disliked everyone and spoke his mind

he went to market to sell the family cow

brought back some coloured magic bean

it grow into a very thick beanstalk

creating such a jaw dropping scene!

treasures were to be found at the top

including gold, silver and jewels galore

but sadly guarded by a fierce giant

stamping around with a great big roar!

so up Jack went to find his fortune

thinking of holidays, cars and glory

stuffing pockets with all he could see

maybe a wife but that`s another story

when back on the ground, he took an axe

with a great swing, he chopped down the bean

Jack took all his loot, popped it in the boot

and drove off into a distant sunnier scene
