JACK AND THE ENCHANTED BEAN STALK

Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real StoryImage via Wikipedia
A man with some magical seeds stopped on by,
He told Jack to plant them, then look to the sky.

Jack planted the seeds in a field he ploughed,
And a beanstalk grew skyward, and punctured a cloud.

Yes, they were his beans, though he thought they were corn. And the stalk grew so high it might have to be shorn.

Now Jack had this oversized beanstalk to prune.
When he climbed to the top, he was close to the moon.

And there was a goose on a nest of gold eggs,
And a giant so mean, he could break off your legs. 

Jack grabbed the goose, but it started to squack,
So they started to slide down that massive beanstalk.

When the giant awoke, and was kind of upset,
that his goose had been stolen, on that you can bet.

With a menacing scream, he then followed them down,
but he tripped on a thorn and he crashed to the ground.
That goose kept on squacking, and that is no joke, 
But it wasn't the kind of goose that Jack likely would choke.
