Crack-A-Jack

(Click the play button to hear the poem.)

Crack a Jack,
Smack his back,
And the Crack-a-Jack
Might smack you back!
And before you know it
Two eyes are black.
But with a smile you will win
Every Jack, Jill and Jim.
So open your eyes,
Stick out your chin,
Spread your lips-
Now give me a grin.
