POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is NOT a poem. Did solve some or all of them? If so, leave your answers in a comment. I originally had this poem titled 'Jack Times Nine', and it contained only the first nine. I put the second nine items in another 'poem' called 'Jack Times Nine More' but PH has deactivated it for some reason and I cannot reactivate it, so I attached the other nine here and changed the title. Let's see what PH will do now.
