Jack and Jill went up the hill?

[Bretrick]

Jack fell down and broke his.....
and Jill came.....

 

[Paco Dennis]

using a little creative license.

Jack and Jill went up the hill to smoke some marijuana.
Jack got high and touched the sky, but Jill saw a flying saucer.
“Jack, look at that! It’s a UFO!”
“Jill, you’re paranoid, it’s just a rainbow.”

 

[CinnamonSugar]

“Jack fell down and broke his crown …

And I got a dollar and a quarter”

(An elderly neighbor used to say this)

I never could figure out why the water was at the top of a hill. Was it gravity defying or what?

 

[againstthegrain]

Don't watch if you're easily offended, please.

I would hazard a guess. A large water tank filled by a windmill driven pump?

 

[papa tiger]

The Weather man said, "sunny skies for Monday."
Then Jack heard, "same for Saturday and Sunday."
Should he ask Jill, "skip up the hill tomorrow?"
or "forget this weekend,"..."Wait & go with me Monday."

So, we're gonna go up, drill down, pump it back up, then climb up there again with a bucket. Hmmmmm......who was in charge of that planning, design and development?

Its usually a man, right?

A nursey rhyme about violence, rock a bye baby another portraying violence. Then there is that poor Humpty Dumpty egg. Imagine the nightmares kids will have visualizing an egg destroyed by a fall.

As a proponent of being politically correct and wanting to shield children from words that may harm them psychologically. I think all nursery rhymes should be removed from schools, libraries, & any other source that children may access.

I hope others can detect the sarcasm I'm trying to show about how far some loonies can go with something as simple as nursery rhymes

I called my Engineering design team
and they said the Mayor's office says
the Public works department comes in
8 AM on Mondays. It's sort of hard
to get an appointment though.

My grandmother taught me her version when I was a mere lad:

Jack and Jill went up the hill,
And that's where he knocked her down,
Jack and Jill went down the hill,
And that's where he knocked her up.

She always taught us those naughty little poems.

Water does defy gravity quite often. If you've ever hiked much in the back country, it's not uncommon to find lakes on top of a mountain. I've been to many. They are spring fed, pushed up by pressure. I can't say that I've ever met a Jack and Jill there though, but it would be quite a hoot if it actually happened.

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water,
Jill came down with half a crown but not for fetching water. That's what we used to say in school.

 

[Bella]

Jack and Jill worked at the mill before the work did slack off.
The miller cried, "I can't decide whether to lay Jill or Jack off."

What?

It was a hard decision either way.

That one elicited a chortle from me. So funny.

Jack and Jill went up the hill,
To fetch a pail of water.
However, if you pledge just $19 a month,
we can build a well with clean water right in their village.

Well, I was always suspicious of lame reason given since it doesn't take two people to carry one bucket. JMO
I think I'll hold off on my pledge till this sordid story is investigated.

If you live near a river that is basic area water table level.
Look around and all you see are river bluffs. the water table
up there is much above you. All it needs is a crack to seep thru.
The Romans brought melt water down from the mountains to Rome
Via Aqueduct to bath in.

A few of us alive remember not having running water when growing up.
I personally remember going to the pump with a couple of pails hanging
on my bike and bring freshwater home. 100 yards, then the water line
dug up and replaced. all the stuff taking several weeks. Laundry day was
a hell day of water hauls. No Jill to help though.

Chortle - I always loved hearing that word - when I mentioned it to my son about the Magpies chortling in the trees, he immediately asked what the word meant as he had never heard of it before. I suppose some words have been lost to the young ones of today.

the one I remember from school days......

Jack and Jill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water
Jill forgot to take the pill
and now they have a daughter

Good one that.

 

[Ruthanne]

Jack was hammered and no telling what he'll do next

 

[ohioboy]

Ruthanne and Ohioboy went up a hill.
Nine months later she came down, she forgot to take the pill.

 

[horseless carriage]

the one I remember from school days......

Jack and Jill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water
Jill forgot to take the pill
and now they have a daughter

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a roll of cheese.
Jack came down with a smile on his face
And his trousers round his knees.
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To have some hanky panky.
Silly Jill forgot her pill
And now there’s little Frankie.
