I have dark spots,
my mouth now droops.
My flesh and skin
has turned to goop.
I'm not a zombie,
my name is Jack.
I used to shine bright,
now my guts are black.
In the compost heap
I currently sit.
I'm decomposing
lickity-split.
Soon I will be
mixed into the ground
helping next year's crop
become plump and round.
