26 February 2017 - Jack and Jill

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

When I was a kid, I didn’t understand Jack and Jill. Water came out of pipes; why wouldn’t you fetch it at the top of a hill? The nursery rhyme needs an update to make proper nonsense in the modern age.

Jack and Jill went down the hill
To “improve their cell reception.”
Jack stayed up with his buttercup,
A squeaky-clean conception.
