In the box

Jack in the box
Held in with locks
How will he ever escape?

Frozen in ice
Silent as mice
See how his lips are taped.

Jack in the box
Likes to eat rocks
But not one can he find.

Stuck on a spring
Crown like a king
Now doesn’t he look divine?

Jack in the box
Breaks all the locks
The latch will set him free

There in the corner
Little Jack Horner
Look, do you see what I see?
