Hilda Greenhough Poet Rhyme

The Contract

Jack and Jill went up the hill.
Actually, more like a grassy knoll.
They fell down the knoll
neither fast nor slow.
The bucket fell with a bang below.

Since they failed the contract,
Council decided to remove it.
 Jill said,"Don't blame Jack.
 It was some guy called Mack.
Besides, you'll never be able to prove it."

Valsa George July 19, 2024 at 9:27 PM Instead of a bare hill, here Jack and Jill had to climb up a grassy knoll. An interesting version of the nursery rhyme. Enjoyed it, dear Hilda. Hilda Greenhough July 19, 2024 at 9:36 PM I'm glad you like it.

Joseph P. DiMino July 19, 2024 at 7:47 PM Don't worry -- the FBI is on it. American's best. LOL -- well done, HIlda. Got to watch those grassy knolls -- Phantoms have tendency to blur from photographs, fade away...and then clear revision.
