It makes me happy to be a middle aged menopausal Frau to see the poetry (I think these might be songs) it does take me back to my teenage writing phase, and grateful that it was never seen in the wild at the time or a decade later I’m the kind of dickhead that would have done a blog of it as well, thank BEANS we didn’t have the internet back then.
On topic- Jack I didn’t care for your poems, but then again so what? I’m sure you wouldn’t care for mine either.

Sunflowers grow to 6 ft or more. 26 of them grown from seed would be a sight. And wasn't she in an exclusive apartment at the time, they would fill the bloody place.

I have to admit, I quite like sunflower bit I made a motivational poster with, the rest of that poem though, woah. They've got creepy obsessive vibes, stalkerish almost. Very strange poetry, and I don't think it's truthful to her real emotions, she's playing angsty emo (look at the profile pic)

Granted, we've all done this nonsense, yet, these poems are both hilarious and strange. Not based on anything more than garnering attention.

"I've not booked under my name". Like anyone would know who she was or give a flying fuck anyway. Jack's hardly Beyonce

Oh god I only know of men, but they are bad for having a “thing” for bloody anything. Long hair, short hair, dyed hair, straight hair, shaved head, curly hair. That’s just the top of the head....height, weight, eye colour....

I wasn’t expecting Alanis Morrisette jack. What a treat.
I’m wondering is it a Marriott Hotel?
And why would she need to stay in a fake name??

I’ve just realised- she’s on jury duty, isn’t she??

I mean it's proper yikes and cringe (and we all have things written that we're glad aren't public and we all will have changed our opinions of many things over time) but there's the bits about benefit recipients/working class people that are just

Aww, I'm sorry, I'm an old softy and I can't bring myself to pick on 20 year old Jack's emosh writing. When I was 20 I had ALL THE FEELINGS too and wrote a lot of lyrics that I am incredibly relieved are not held in perpetuity anywhere.

Aww, I get you and I think most of us can empathise with the burning shame of being reminded of our angsty poetry. But then I think of the bunny in the garage, the treatment breadcrumbs, the grotty cynical grifting and I’m all like <INSERT ALAN SHRUG GIF>

Sorry to interrupt what could be the beginning of a chaos, (Jack in a hotel is going full Partridge!), but I need to tell you all about my dream.

Remember the never-ending rag rug of nightmares? I dreamed that it was eligible to vote. And then wrote here (as a very serious comment) something like “yeah I bet even the rug voted properly in the Brexit referendum”.
