Blue Jay
Once upon a time
In a town not far away
There lived a married couple
And their only son named Jay
Jay grew up healthy enough
Always kind and humble and floored
Until he reached the age of thirteen
When he started to get real bored
Bored and blue and unhappy
Call it what you may
It wasn’t long before the parents
Fretted about their Jay
With life, with school, etcetera
Jay was sick of the scum
His parents hated his attitude
His dad called him a bum!
Fed up with their son
The parents left to go on a cruise
Jay wished that he could come with them
He’d give his problems a truce
Mom and Dad said No, no, no
Jay could not, would not go
Jay stayed at home and sighed and groaned
‘Til he found a book by Jodi Picoult
The title’s not important
About a man, some kids, his wife
As Jay read on the tragic tale
He was grateful for his life!
When his folks returned from vacation
Jay was thrilled to bits
He glomped and kissed and hugged his folks
‘Til they said “Calm your wits!”
Jay was finally at peace
With life, with school, all that
And he owed it all to the book
Whose title is not important
