Jack was nimble
not so quick
caught the pox
poor Jack got sick.

Jill was polishing the crown
when she heard that Jack came down
with a dose of not so good,
she knew what Jack was like and
knew he would, still, she fretted
for his health
not because he had much wealth, but
he did have offspring sprung from her
and what would they do without
Jack there?

Eventually Jack popped off with a quiet groan
and a gurgling cough and a warning to his
offspring sprung, 'have fun, make hay, be careful with whom you lay'

Jill married the man who lived in a shoe and what did she do?
she
had lots more Spring sprung from everything
