JACK, JACK AND GERARD
by Clyde L. Borg
Jack, Jack and Gerard,
Hanging out on Bethune Street,
Talking girls and baseball.
Reading Mickey Spillane.
Jack, Jack and Gerard,
Gathering at El Mundo Bar,
Drinking Rhingold cans,
Tasting Seagrams and 4 Roses.
Jack, Jack and Gerard,
Making easy choices,
Deciding on RKO or Sheridan,
Bowling or roller derby.
Jack, Jack and Gerard,
Graduating high school,
Going into service,
Getting married.
Jack, Jack and Gerard,
Drinking takes its toll,
Passing early the result,
Missing them I am.
