UP THE HILL WITH JACK & JILL

Jack and Jill seemed like a curious pair.
They hung out together, and went everywhere.

Even the time when jack climbed up the hill,
Right there behind him was sweet little Jill.

She was the fine local pail maker’s daughter.
Jack took her up hill to fetch fresh pails of water.

But hard times came pounding upon their front door.
Because dental impairments are so tough on the poor.

Like the time when Jack slipped and he stumbled down hill.
He got an outrageous high tooth repair bill!

‘Cause when Jack hit the bottom, he fractured his crown!
I guess that’s the berries for tumbling down.

And poor little Jill, so off balance with laughter,
She too slipped and fell, and she tumbled down after.

It is a sad story, and lesson of sorts,
Although they were injured, they seemed like good sports!
