Jack Jameson - Peter Seiler

Jack Jameson

Jack was a hard dairy man at 76
Though soft before tragedy
When his first wife died in her sleep

Mary, his second and recent wife
Was truly a beauty he loved
Though she did not treat him right

“I’m leaving you,” she said at dinner,
“For you are not the man I need
Being too grumpy, stubborn, and clean.”

Jack does not respond
He grabs the familiar leash
Lights a pipe to walk the dog.

Out for nearly an hour
He spots his friendly neighbor
Shouts, “I’m walking the dog,
Don’t care no how!”
