And I asked Old Jack,
"Do you remember the night
When the sky was so dark
And the Moon Shone so Bright?
When a million small children
Pretended to sleep,
Nearly didn't have Christmas at all,
So to speak?
And would, If you could,
Turn that Mighty Clock Back,
To that Long, Faithful Night.
Now Think Carefully Jack.
Would You do the
thing all over again,
Knowing what you knew then,
Knowing what you know now?
And he smiled,
Like the old Pumpkin King
That I knew,
and said,
"Wouldn't You?"
