Jack-In-The-Box


Crank...
Crank...
Crank...
Sproing!
I explode out of the box,
my coiled body unloading 
and my face bursting with joy
as I bob back and forth.
You sit there, smiling at me,
amused at the bells ringing
as they dangle from the corners
of my jester hat.
My mouth is agape
as if to say, "Surprise!"
but my eyes pleading,
hoping you don't stuff me
back into that stupid box.
But you do...
And I'm left alone in the dark,
waiting once again, to hear
Crank...
Crank...
Crank...
