Age: 19
Mr. Jack-in-the-box
Took me by surprise -
Popping into the air,
Staring into my eyes.
His smiling face
And curling hair
Made me think of childhood -
when life was fair.
He clowns around -
As all clowns should.
And makes me happy
As I knew he would.
Please don't go -
Just stay awhile.
'Cause when you're with me,
I always smile.
As you pop into my life,
Time after Time,
I'd like to believe
That you're really mine.
For, I have you here
When I need you most,
Like a jester
In the court of a Royal Host.
Background: A young love? Perhaps... Heavy on the 'corny' side, but apparently that's where my heart was at 19.
