Jack and the Beanstalk Poetry Jack the Giant-Killer Wunst wuz a little boy, name wuz Jack, An 'he had sword an' buckle an' strap Maked of gold, an' a "'visibul cap"; An' he killed Gi’nts ‘at et whole cows— Th’ horns an’ all—an’ pigs an’ sows! But Jack, his golding sword wuz, oh! So awful sharp ‘at he could go An’ cut th’ ole Gi’nts clean in two ‘Fore ‘ey knowed what he wuz goin’ to do! An’ one ole Gi’nt, he had four Heads, an’ name wuz "Bumblebore"— An’ he wuz feared o’ Jack – ‘cause he, Jack, he killed six—five—ten—three, An’ all o’ th’ uther ole Gi’nts but him; An’ thay wuz a place Jack haf to swim ‘Fore he could git t’ ole "Bumblebore"— Nen thay wuz "griffuns" at the door; But Jack, he thist plunged in an’ swum Clean acrost; an’ when he come To th’ uther side, he thist put on His "‘visibul cap," an’ nen, dog-gone! You couldn’t see him at all!--An’ so He slewed the "griffuns"—boff, you know! Nen wuz a horn hunged over his head, High on th’ wall, an’ words ‘at read,-- "Whoever kin this trumput blow Shall cause the Gi’nt’s overth’ow!" An’ Jack, he thist reached up an’ blowed The stuffin’ out of it! an’ th’owed Th’ castul gates wide open, an’ Nen tuk his gold sword in his han’, An’ thist marched in t’ ole "Bumblebore," An’, ‘fore he knowed, he put ‘bout four Heads on him—an’ chopped ‘em off, too!-- Wisht ‘at I’d been Jack!--don’t you? |
