Making a Gift of Yourself

How did old John-John roll?
What made him tick—
Jean Jacques Rousseau?

Did he have a kind soul?
Did he tend the sick?
How did old John-John roll?

Or was he kind of cruel,
a clogged-up prick—
Jean Jacques Rousseau?

He trained Emile
with his Kantean schtick
to do the John-John roll.

A bit of a troll,
he sent his own babies to the clink—
Jean Jacques Rousseau.

The bottomless hole
in his heart, he filled with his own pink
face, served up as a jelly roll—
Jean Jacques Rousseau.
