November the seventh came and went
Ennis got back the postcard he'd sent,
Made one phone call
What he heard was bitter as gall
His pain and regret would never be spent

It's a brand of knife...straight or serrated blades, or the kind I think of as 'jack-knives' that fold...that seems the type Jack is using to open the can of beans.

That limerick is pretty weird.....  :-\
