Notes About The Poem

Jill Nursery Rhyme poetry Contest 

Sponsored by: Charles Messina

3rd place

Jolly Jill



Jill just can’t sit for one minute still;
In everything she wants some thrill!
One rainy evening she climbs a hill;
From there she slips making a shrill!
This results her fall straight into a rill;
She swallows water a gallon at her will! 
As her belly swells, she falls critically ill;		
The quack there tries on her every pill!
It costs them their farm to pay his bill!!

This is so amusing and equally sad. The resonance created by your mono rhyme is so pleasing. All the Best in the contest, dear friend.
