When the journey started I wasn’t sober,
but I still reminisce everything over & over.

[¹] I met ten step-brothers,
Each wore a bony hat crafted by their mothers.

[²] I climbed a tiny hill,
Looking around to find my Jill.

[³] The smooth bridge that followed wasn’t stable,
But my Jill awaited me so it had to be worth the trouble.

[] As I continued the ground turned wet,
“Softer & warmer is my Jill, I bet.”

[⁵]  Next was a desert with a single well,
With my every move it vibrated like a bell.

[⁶] Now, I could see the two domes of a temple.
My destination was close & I witnessed the hurdles crumple.

[⁷] The final slender wall was high,
Stopping wasn’t an option cause I had no time to cry.

[⁸] When my lips met hers, she knew I’m back.
Never going to leave her, cause I’m her Jack.
