Refurbished Nursery Rhymes: Jack Be Nimble

...or Jack be walking funny for a while... Jack was nimble, And Jack was quick, But he miscalculated That candlestick. It was skinny and tall, He was thick and quite small. When he lit, It was with an undignified bump, With a blister The size of his fist on his rump. Then a notion occurred To this game little actor, Before he tries it again, Jack will use a protractor.

Thanks, Michael. I hope Jack can use one of those things better than I ever could.
