Jack and Jill went Sonnetting

\nYoung Jack and Jill went climbing on the hill
\nThey had been sent to fetch a pail of water
\nBut Jack fell down and ended rather ill
\nQuite swiftly followed by his mother’s daughter<\/p>\n
They both got up deciding to run home
\nTo tell their mum about the nasty caper
\nShe took a look where Jack had cracked his dome
\nAnd bandaged him with vinegared brown paper<\/p>\n
This tale became a sad parental crime
\nDame Nob regaled her friends down at the inn
\nPoor Jack and Jill became a nursery rhyme
\nCan anyone recall more heinous sin?<\/p>\n
You ask if now the children are OK
\n‘Fraid not they’re still in therapy today<\/p>\n
