the return of spring-heeled jack ( a true tale in a poemz-formz of )
…
i saw him leap from roof to roof
he does exist - there goes the proof
that wicked cloak & bouncy boots
it must be he - who can refute?
gravity's strong but he prevails
still nimble now & no less frail
gasps of wonder lie in his trail
& frightened types like lucy scales
sightings have re-spread - towns, cities
keep them eyes peeled - it might be he
a true folk legend there to see
in the twenty first century
remain cautious - he might attack
perhaps he slept? let's stick to facts
it's been a while but yes he's back
it's the return
of spring-heeled jack
