Mister Jump For Joy Poem by Dorsey Baker

mister jump for joy
wouldn't work
he just quit
on the job
he just
quit on the job
no gas
in the tank
no steam
in the engine
mister jump for joy
so excited
stood in attention
but not
for very long
hard
pretending
to be ready
to be strong
mister jump for joy
didn't want to jump
no jumping
no working
mister jump for joy
refused to work
he just quit on the job
mister jump for joy
he didn't last
too long
because he just
quit
he quit on the job
