Take Him, Jolene!

Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

Wanna see a new face…
He'll bore you with his Star Wars chat,
You'd be freeing me, and that ain't bad.
Take him away, make it crystal clear.
He's a burden I can't stand.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
Wanna see the sun with brighter days…
So Jolene, you see my plight,
He's clingy, needy, and oh so weak,
His whining voice drives me insane,
Please, Jolene, lend a helping hand.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
So Jolene, save me from this fate.
I'm tired of his lazy whiny ways!
If you'd take this man, sight unseen.
Jolene, Jolene, you'd be my queen,
Your help would be a gift so grand,
I've got my eyes on someone new,
He's always broke and always late,
A weedy nerd, a total freak.
One last time, I'm asking you here,
He's got no dream, just drags his feet,
Leaves dirty socks, and never stays up late.
He's got no chest, and can't lift a weight,
Your pretty face and charming ways,
So Jolene, take him, please don't refrain.
Endless nights I've had to fight.
Would do well to keep him at bay.
Make your move and set me free,
I'm begging you, take him off my hands,
Set me free, let me find my way,
Can't keep a job, or cook a sick treat.
And can't even cook, imagine that!
So Jolene, it's time he's stuck with you.
Take him, Jolene, I won't be sad,
Please, Jolene, take him from me,
Take him, Jolene, and save my day.
