When we tell our children the classic nursery rhymes, we don't often think about the rest of the story.  Sometimes my imagination fills in details on what happened later on.

Jack and Jill went up the hill we tell our kids this story all day long but Jill was bitter and she was savvy and she went to her lawyer with a sad song. The lawyer filed in the court and Jack got the report That Jill was after his crown.

Who said females were the weaker sex. Wonder if Jack was aware of Jill's ill will, and actually pushed her down the hill giving himself an alibi.

This is a great read Miranda with the adult version and a reminder that life is not always a fairytale! Very well written and creative. Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. Look forward to more :)

Adult version because if you stop to think about it, most if not all the children's stories are down right dark.

I'm really glad you like what my imagination comes up with. I might do an ending on another nursery rhyme.

Your poem explores the aftermath of the classic nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill" and re-imagines the story from a different perspective. The subject matter revolves around themes of betrayal, legal action, and the consequences of actions.
