Jack be Nimble

Jack be Nimble

A Poem by Cherrie Palmer
"

When nursery rhymes go bad

"
Jack be nimble, flick, flick, flick

Sing song glow from the fire pit

Crackling flames how they dance

With that boy Jack on its back

Quick to run with the flame

So when things catch fire

You know who to blame.

Jack be nimble or Jack be burned...
don't run toward the flame or away...just run with it.
and in life if we run with the bad stuff it won't be so overwhelming...we can come to terms with it.
