Jack Terror

When you know your dad’ll spank you,
‘Cuz you broke a china vase
Or when the boys in blue chase you,
‘Cuz you broke a couple laws
Do you know who is that feeling?
Tight in your throat, what’s the cause?

That’s Jack Terror, come a-calling,
When your stomach starts a-falling.

He’s there when your poker buddies,
Figure out you’ve rigged the game
And when you fall into deep water,
He’ll laugh and cry ‘Oh what a shame!’
He’s that feeling down your neck,
The goose bump man, oh what’s his name?

That’s Jack Terror come a-calling,
When your stomach starts a-falling

He’ll be there no doubt about it,
When your luck has all run out
And if you get a deadly illness,
He’ll be there to hear you shout
‘Heaven help me, oh why me?
‘What could this awful feeling be?’

That’s Jack Terror come a-calling,
When your stomach starts a-falling

Yes ol’ Jack keeps very busy,
If you run he’s on the go
But if you brave the worst of it,
I tell you now; I doubt he’ll show
And when he sees you’ve got his number,
He’ll turn tail and then you’ll know

That Jack Terror won't come a-calling,
Once you've stopped yourself from falling

  2. You Have such a clear idea when you are writing these, it's like each "Warning!" Is an actual person. "Terror Jack" sounds like the cheekiest "Warning!" Of them all......(so far) Jack is the only one whom I would want to have as a friend.

    1. Thanks for your comment Cecelia! Jack is pretty lively, I agree, though none of them should visit TOO often. I think I'd like being pen pals with Jack
