Jack and Jill New Version

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. When they came down, Jill magically became a Jack. Now they could not reproduce a great son nor a daughter! 6/15/2023

New version and one that speaks so well my dear friend. Yes, we are out of the loop these ingrates' are peddling methinks. Closing verse is truly golden too. God bless.. A fav...

Oops! That's quite the predicament. I guess they'll have to adopt. Well penned.

You young thing, you.I am taking a rest for awhile and trying to refocus myself. I comment to people who have backed me. Yo are one of them. I will not play comment-or of the day. Life has other facets that take our life and attention that must be attended to. Good Saturday to you with hugs, Pangie

This is genius, short, to the point, clever and rhymes to boot. The author who wrote The Budapest Hotel(movie too), wrote his memoirs about the late 1800's, early 1900's in Austria, and the powers that be in that time period were messing with the culture with similar tactics as they're trying to throw in our face now. Tsk, tsk

David, I know you are familiar, more than I, with history and good writing. I, too,thought that this was quite good as it soared above the mundane. It was not kissy face, nor fully of blame. Nor out to have people rolling in the aisles. You should read what Camille Paglia says about this. It puts the Western world in the path of extinction as other civilizations before us. Several of them did this..and poof? They are no more. While we ring our hands over dubious climate change, This is far worse. We might end the human race. PRIDE…Biblically is a sen, HUMILITY is something to strive for, GW Washington had humility FLAg. Having a fat head, keeps us on the path of ignorance. In appreciation. Merci, Pangie xx

LoL Pangie, cute. It takes years for some to come out. I've been researching, there is no gay gene—but no straight gene either. The science say it starts in the womb—after 3 or 4 boys the 5 is usually gay, not because the environment outside, the womb's environment changes. Something about estrogen or testosterone levels. I just saw Amy Schumer’s Comedy act. “Emergency contact” She is so funny, like you! Xhugs https://youtu.be/EIYtHkACgfM https://youtu.be/cAwhLvs-le8

Although I only heard his lines on the nursery rhymes, I used to love him...It's Comedy! Now that I dabbled more into it, wow, it's super racy and racist--hahhaa still laughing! Xoxo

Ayana…the Dice Man.I loved him. My guy alright. He got in trouble for his lines. Heh- heh. But hey, he was up front,no sneaky stuff. He was outrageous! My daughter saw him in person, 26 years ago. He was on HB0 a lot.his nursery rhymes were great. Thanks for bringing him up. Many hated him. I sat to them,,get off it! Pangie xx

Ayana, it was a play on words, That’s all. ))) but comedy evolved into profanity and meaness as the rule. I don’t think I am funny ar all. I stopped watching comedy years ago. I am so square, my friend. Thank you for the link.I have lived in SF for years. Am used to people being out 50 years ago in SF’s gayest district. It was great. Pangie Xx

The words just hit me!Paula and made me laugh as well. I debated with myself about posting it. How stupid. Like ..it was not meant to hurt someone’s feelings or whatever … it was just meant for fun. I am not a comedy writer. Nor will use erotic words to make a hit. Pangie xx
