Mrs Jack Spratt

Mrs. Jack Spratt
Ate all of the fat,
Because Jack was mean
And ate all the lean.

Dear Joyce, This is a very funny clerihew! I should think Mr. Spratt would be wanting his wife to slim down a bit. LOL Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn

Hi Joyce: A very clever retort on a nursery rhyme. Congrats on your win.

Joyce, when I read it, my first thought was that it was too much like the nursery rhyme, but then I thought it over and found it was clever how you gave a REASON for Mrs. spratt eating only fat. It's because her dang husband wouldn't let her!!! Congrats for your win.
