JACK AND JILL

Jack and Jill climbed the hill for pails of beer
To satisfy the thirst of papa dear
Jack took a tumble
Jill took a stumble
For spilt suds, each got a kick in the rear

HUMPTY DUMPTY

Humpty Dumpty was perched on a high wall
Alas, Old Humpty took a fatal fall
Left among the pile of dregs
Was nothing but scrambled eggs
And scattered shards of shell, that's about all

JACK BE NIMBLE

Jack, you had better be nimble and quick
As you take a leap o'er that candlestick
Such capers are uncanny
You could well scorch your fanny
So think again before you try that trick
