Joe when I saw you on the moving screen

I only wanted to see you in pain.

But now seeing you between the covers,

I desire a much different punishment vein

To take a crooked blade,

And jam it into your good eye,

That would bring me joy,

As you beg to die.

For years you attacked young jack

For little more than a jelousy attack

But the tables turned and took your eye

But your evil did not die

But he found what all men seek

A joyus, happy life.

With friend a many,

And a 'little singer' to be a wife

But your shadow was cast

With a vile retched stink

And your plan was hatched

To keep this happiness his last

A battle of wits?
Don't make me laugh

Your battle was nothing more than bits

Of lies and tricks and other falsities

As the pages of the book turned

I begged for a proper end

For Miss Arcadia to return

To jack's arms once again

But because of you, your lies, your evil

No longer did she see him.

Because of you, your ego and your vile

For jack we sing a funeral hymn

I only wish I could see the day

Though far or soon it be

That your past evils you push away

Meet you at the end

On that date, your fate is sealed

And hope and life you will clench.

The only thing I want to see,

The rippers blade in your flesh


Okay, for those of you who couldn't put it together, this is a poem written about the main antagonist of Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart/The Boy with the Cuckoo Clock Heart. Now, I hate many many villains. Really do. But Joe, after reading the book, sticks in my side more so than ANYONE. Won't complain here for those who didn't read the book but would like to (Which is something I very much recommend), but needless to say, for every evil drop in Joe in the movie, Joe from the novel has a gallon of it. So, since we have this evil bastard, I decided to write a poem about him. Hope you enjoyed it.
