Jack and the Beanstalk - 2017 Edition

Once, there was boy named Jack,

Who lived with his mother in a small apartment.

All they had left was a few dollar bills in a stack,

And Jack's mother did not want this situation to be permanent.

So they decided to sell their most valuable possession, the TV.

How Jack went about this you will not believe.

On Craigslist he placed that good old machine,

Until he got an interesting message from a man named Sheen.

Sheen said, "Jack, I have something here that will make you rich.

That you give me your TV is all that I wish.

Please message me back for further details,

And I will let you know what my offer entails."

Jack immediately responded to this man,

Who came the next day to his apartment in a van.

The deal was closed, the deed was done.

When Jack's mother got home, she scolded her son.

Jack was tricked into thinking he was a winner,

When all that he got were three things called "fidget spinners."

As his mother went to throw them away,

Jack screamed, "Wait mom, at least let me play!"

He took them to school the very next day,

And showed them to his best friend Jay.

They quickly caught on, to Jack and his mother's surprise,

And they started to make them for people to buy.

Fast forward three months, and the business had grown.

People spent more time with their spinners than their phones!

Jack and his mother's spinners had made them a fortune,

But some copycat then started to cheaply import them.

Fast forward a week, and the mother and son had been beat.

But at least they had enough money to get back on their feet.

They moved to a new town and bought a new place,

And put the rest of their money into a bank called Chase.

They eventually decided to invest some,

Which gave them an extra source of income.

Who knows what would have happened if Jack hadn't been so clever.

The boy and his mother went on to live happily ever after.
