Fantastic Lore: Is there a Wrapper in the House?

Jack the Wrapper was used to so many hands  
groping him and admiring his paper art. It was  
for a time a happy existence to please all with  
his gifts of ‘wrap’ from his heart. But he’s had  
many nightmares about the times when occasions  
would cause folks to tear him apart. Holidays and  
birthdays were the times when he was expected  
to do his part.
 
 
 
He hadn’t truly cared for the constant  back, and  
forth of  people adoring him, One minute holding
in high esteem and the next tearing him in sections  
of  varying pieces,  it was a disgrace. He liked it less  
when compared to the bows,  and ribbons who always
 laughed at him right in his face. So he figured one day  
he’d gain their respect and from then on all would  
understand his pain from where he stood. It was time to
speak on it, but he needed something to make him seem  
hardcore, you know,  kinda hood. Never liking his
 birthname Jack thought he had to change that first,  
if he could. Lucky for him, he was blessed with  the
 gift of rap.
 
Now all he needs is to embrace a new name,
one that would gain him fame, and erase the  
memory of that name- Jack. Because it always  
left him with a feeling of unease. He hated how  
all his childhood friends would constantly tease
singing, "Jack the Wrapper”  is a weak, weak  
wrapper, because he's always being ripped in  
two” It made him mad as those memories had  
swirled in his head, then suddenly   he
thought and then smirked about what he’d do.  
 
Awaking one morning just before Christmas,  
Jack felt he was reborn...the bows and ribbons  
will no longer tease him with scorn. For today,  
and evermore he will be known as 'Rick The Wrapper, '  
he just knew it gave him clout, and besides that it  
sounded rather smooth and  dapper. “Good morning  
Ribbons and Bows!" He proclaimed,  since it’s a new  
day I suppose you might be wondering about those  
sounds in the night.”  “I was busy planning my future  
and oh how it looks so right.”  "But, right here I state  
loud and clear, I have a new moniker I want you all  
to hear...my name is no longer Jack,  
yeah you guessed it, I’m tired of that ‘hat.’ So from  
here on I shall be known forevermore as Rick The Wrapper!  
Now I’m out and off, to find myself and with  that, Rick The Wrapper rolled out into a brave new world,  
determined and looking forward and never  ever looking back...
