Happy Jack

Happy Jack is a shop with bright lights and they are all just right,
There are kites and something that can bite.
But don’t be scared you will not get a fright because I will make sure it will be all right.
There are things that are funny like me: Sonny.
There are bubbles that are bright, you can write and I will get a tight little light for just you, my little delight.
Happy that your happy but your little brother is a bit scrappy and very unhappy.
But the sun is shining and everything is great!
We can go skating and maybe have a great date but all that matters is that you’re having fun and don’t fall over and bite your tongue.
