Jack Spratt
Jack Spratt could eat no fat
his wife could eat no lean
Jack fell down and broke his crown
his wife was really mean
" No more hot cross buns for you "
she said and licked the platter clean
" You and Humpty Dumpty
are mill stones round my neck
As far as I'm concerned my dear
you'd be better off with Beck
You know, the old woman who
lives in a shoe
who has so many children she is
always looking for someone new."
heh I think I had this picture of
ReplyDeleteMr & Mrs Jack when I was little. =)
cheeky twist =)
Fun and funny and so clever! I always felt sorry for Jack's fat missus, but no more. She can obviously hold her own ... and then some!
ReplyDeleteToo fun! Great blend of classics.
