Jack and Jill and the Magic Bean Stalk
Why did Jack go up the hill to fetch that pail of water?
To water the seed
he had received
from the tip-pod-man
a cain in hand
Jack gave him all he had
no heart to barter
but he broke his crown
as he fell down
I think Jill bruised her heel.
From the bean a serpent sprung
and touched the sun
It's pretty big to be called a twig
by those who wouldn't look,
pointed and shook,
said Listen Jack
we can't go back
But Jack set out to climb the vine
and Jill came fumbling after.
The old man's seed carried the deed--
It seems the tripod-man had a plan
so Jack feall and the tale began.
