"Wack Jack"
This poem was written for my friend Pricilla. She taught me the phrase "wack jack," and it can be used in a positive or negative light. It is similar to "crazy."
She wack jack
and she's all that
She's the kind of woman who at 20-plus still sees the joy in a coloring book
and who likes to throw foods together and just cook
The girl is care free enough to jump off bridges and discover the depths of lakes
and the depth of her commitment to God is something you can't shake
She likes Brazilian men because they have a gentle spirit
and she'll introduce herself to anyone she's never met
She's curious like her favorite George
and has walked across the bridge over the Royal Gorge
Her heart will warm you like hot chocolate after playing in the snow
(which she still loves to do by the way)
and she thinks free coffee at Barnes & Noble is the way to go
The gal is soothed by bathing to Kenny G even if she knows it's corny
and she can do some mad swing dancing all night long and into the morning
She's addicted to Cocoa Puffs mixed with soft serve ice cream
and hanging from mountains is one of her dreams
She's economical enough to shop at the Salvation Army and thrift stores
but classy enough to help build Habitat houses for the poor
She's all about poetry and shirts with alligators
and when it comes to procrastination there's no one better
Like I said - she's wack jack
and she's all that
