Have you ever lost anything on land, air, or sea?
It’s in Blackjack’s beard I can almost guarantee
What started with just razors, scissors, and the like
Soon expanded to sparrows and freshwater pike
Unable to trim it Blackjack let it grow
Now it swallows things up like an ocean undertow
Not just fish and birds; bikes, cars, trucks, houses too
The entire Ulti Mountain of Western Peru
Nearly everything and anything under the sun
Including that one thing that you lost (you know the one)
It swallows up planes like a great white swallows up barracuda
More sailors’ ships than a certain triangle near Bermuda
All those toy parts, batteries, and your holiday wreath
Atlantis, the missing link, General Washington’s teeth
How does this story end? I really wish I could tell
You guessed it! The end of this rhyme? It’s in there as well!
I have a good comment to say, and I must express my enjoyment this way,
Well done eh!
