Jack in the Sunflower Stalk

Jack nimbly climbed the sunflower stalk 
The prize in sight his aim 
Reaching long up its full height 
Plucked a flower head quite clean 

“Come look and see,” husband exclaimed 
“He’s grabbed it with his mouth”
Us too slow from laughing hard
Lost pic of Jack going south 

With a scamper, a victory hop
Mouth stuffed full with flower head 
Jack swished his bushy tail then 
Across the arbor fence he fled 

Stopping once to taste his prize…
Could the mystery be finally hacked?
Who planted those surprise flower seeds?
Was it our friend Squirrelly Jack?
