Tudor Rickards 'Hi-Viz Jack' by GM Jon

Hi-viz Jack, I’ve got your back On the building site or the racing track For some he’s loved while others loath him Jealous of his vibrant Hi-viz clothing.   Yellow as the  shimmering sun in Bangkok  Or the one in the painting by Van Gogh. As black as the heart of a midnight Hag As black as the devil’s nutting bag.   Let’s hear it now for hi-viz Jack   Renault, Opel and Bugatti The colours on the cars make the crowds go batty Gasps and cheers change to a bellow When the leading car is black and yellow    The football shirts of Wolverhampton Are bright as a lighthouse with its lamp on. Yellow and black blend for all to see As they do for Dortmund in Germany  That’s Borussia whose well-known jersey Is as famous as the one on the team on the Mersey. See how well the colours meld in When worn by the players of Die Schwarzgelben.    There’s a high-viz magic of yellow and black The colours opposed on field and track The yellow of gold, and the pollen of flowers The black of the devil and his evil powers Attention seeking, attention calling. Electrical ziggy-zagging warning. The warning on the jacket of the busy bee You don’t want to mess with a dude like me   But what about Jack? I was coming to that … Hi-viz Jack in the sandwich queue Stands out in the line, and so would you This a guy who can always hack it With his hi-viz message on his jacket What did he buy? A warm steak pie That’s hi-viz Jack
