Jack and his mum
Lived in Rotherham
A bleak Northern city
Full of woe and pity
His father died in Iraq
Has a bench in the park
Times became hard
His heart was bared
Mum became depressed
Her loss, never addressed
The British army paid
But she felt betrayed
Wasn't enough to keep
Falling into debt so deep
Jacks mum one day
Sent Jack away
To the local pawn shop
To sell everything they got
Jack was only 17
Adulthood yet to be seen
He seemed easy prey
For the shopkeepers sway
He was after all a businessman
But Jack tried to get all he can
He gave away his DVD
Video and TV
The shopkeeper knew his dad
And took pity on the lad
The shopkeeper said
‘Sorry to here your dads dead'
He said he had a magic egg
Jack thought he was off his head
The shopkeeper said it couldn't be bought
For it was an egg of a magic stork
And when it hatches it will bring
A very special something
Jack accepted the shopkeepers deal
It was magic, he could feel
When Jack arrived home
His mum was on the phone
His mum then asked for the money
She didn't find the egg story funny
When Jack showed her the Egg
She ran crying to her bed
Everything they had, now gone
Jack was inconsolable, of what he'd done
He went to his bedroom
Feeling like doom and gloom
The shopkeeper seemed an honest fellow
Jack placed the egg under his pillow
And cried himself to sleep
No need to count sheep
Jack was awoken by a pain
This wasn't the feeling of shame
This was a sharp peck
Which was now at his neck
Jack could not believe his eyes
What he saw was a complete surprise
Standing beside him, was a stork
A stork that could talk
“Morning Jack, it's ok, you're not crazy”
“I'm here to deliver you a baby”
Jack was lost for words
He wasn't used to talking birds
“A baby?” he asked the stranger
The stork nodded “Yep from Romania”
“I'm going to make you a lot of money”
“Lots of woman can't be a mummy”
“So I am going to get one”
“And you'll sell them to an English mum”
“That's really terrible and mean” said Jack
“Can the baby ever go back?”
The stork shook his head; “No”
And then flew out of the window
He soon returned with a baby
Taken from an Eastern European city
He flew off and then another arrived
Jack didn't know what to do when they cried
Jacks mum came into see what was going on
Jack explained, but she said it was wrong
The Stork then came back
And said to Jack
“We can sell these babies on the internet”
“£100,000 each we could get”
Jack didn't know how to set up a website
But the stork said he might
The Stork told Jack what to do
And soon they were selling Babies new
People came from all around
To Jacks house with £100,000
Jack and his mum
Might have been seen as scum
But they made a healthy sum
Selling kids to everyone
Jack now knows what to do when a baby cries
The stork can sometimes been seen in the skies
And when the babies grow up and talk
They mention Jack and the mean stork.
