A Take on Jack and Jill.
Jill went tumbling down the hill when sent by Jack for water,
the evil witch who guards the creek cast a spell and caught her.
"you'll stay with me forever now, and be my loving daughter.
I'll build a house just for us, all made with sticks and mortar."
But Jill disliked the evil witch, so screamed out loud and said,
"You'll never keep me here you hag, there's nothing worse I dread!
My Jack has promised we'll be wed, and live as one instead,
and furthermore he'll build our home, complete with double bed."
So shocked was Jack to hear her scream, he fell and broke his crown.
He capered home for vinegar and paper coloured brown,
the vinegar dispelled the curse, and caused the witch to drown.
So Jill was saved to tumble home and wear her wedding gown.
