jocko was a carpenter
and carried a bag of nails
he carried a bag of donuts too
but they got stale
jocko walked the roads at night
and whistled as he walked
and methodically perused the stars
their secrets to unlock
jocko never kicked the rocks
that lay upon the road
convinced that their arrangement
contained a secret code
one night he was accosted
by the highway patrol
they asked his name and number
but did not enquire as to his soul
jocko offered the officers some nails
but they politely turned them down
but each happily took a donut
and rode back into town
