I was thinking lately to do a spoof on Jack and Jill (though i will come up with it later ).So i just put Google for it and was amazed to find that it was a long poem of which one verse was famous .Even one of my friend who turned in my room did not know about it so i thought let's do justice to our childhood rhyme .So i present here the whole poem .
- Jack and Jill went up the hill
- To fetch a pail of water.
- Jack fell down and broke his crown,
- And Jill came tumbling after.
- Up Jack got and home did trot
- As fast as he could caper;
- And went to bed and covered his head
- In vinegar and brown paper.
- Then up Jack got and home did trot
- As fast as he could caper;
- To Old Dame Dob who patched his nob
- With vinegar and brown paper.
- When Jill came in how she did grin
- To see Jack's paper plaster;
- Mother vexed, did whip her next,
- For causing Jack's disaster.
- Now Jack did laugh and Jill did cry
- But her tears did soon abate;
- Then Jill did say that they should play
- At see-saw across the gate.
