Jack and Jill (a different rhyme)

Jack sent Jill

to the shop on the hill

to fetch some mineral water.

He thought that Jill was on the pill

so in bed did what he oughter.

 

But a shock Jack got

 when bedside he trot

as Jill produced a daughter

so beautifully black

like the man who sold mineral water!

Thanks Lisa, Devon and Jon for the comments / and DoRothy for the like. Don - my nursery rhyme book was the same as the child's. Jill was plain out tarty, always up for a bonk, and she thought Jack could lug the water down the hill for once, so .......................

Let's have a re-look at this Jack and his Jill
They all could have been black and hearty
Was Jill true to Jack or she frisk mineral man?
Was she true or was she just plain-out tarty?

The baby came out looking beautifully black
But whose black daddy made this nice charm?
Now if DNA testing was round at the time
We'd know which daddy it would confirm

(But mummy, in my picture book Jack and Jill are white.... and I can't find a mineral man anywhere?.......)
