The Stalk of Success
Jack was a young boy whose life was in ruins
He needed a way to get things back moving
He found a stranger and they had a talk
He bought some beans and the beans made a stalk
But the beans that he had weren't regular beans
1 was all hope and the other was dreams
He climbed the stalk to see where life leads
But it wasn't as glorious as he had once dreamed
He saw a giant standing great and tall
He was the wealthiest person of all
His house was on clouds and he spoke very loud
But the sound of his voice couldn't get to the ground
He was so lonely he had zero friends
His only desire was to once fit in
He tried to befriend jack
He came on too strong
Jack dashed away giant followed him home
Jack was at home it was normal at last
Giant was losing his wealth way too fast
He wanted his friends
No longer would he hide
But he went too far down
Hit rock bottom and died
