Jack’s a shy guy

A bit misunderstood

Though he looks pure evil

Through and through, he’s good

A sinister smile appeared

When they carved his face

With menacing eyes

That he cannot erase

He looks at the children

And sees fear in their eyes

He cannot comfort them

Though he tries and tries

When Sensitive Sally

Feels Jack’s distress

She finds him a costume

And helps him dress

With his evil face covered

Jack’s happiness returns

In response to their smiles

Jack’s candle twinkles and burns
