When Jack sued Jill
We all know the nursery rhyme Jack and Jill. But now it has been given a 21st century touch by a British author.
The new version goes like this:
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water;
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.
Jill sued Jack and Jack sued back,
The judge is going to fine her;
Now the pail's been sent to jail
For abandoning a minor.
We'll sue Jack and he'll sue Jill,
The hill is suing for scandal;
The water says he'll sue the press –
And everyone's suing the handle
Author Felix Dennis has given new words to many other rhymes. His book is titled ‘When Jack Sued Jill: Nursery Rhymes for Modern Times’.
The UK Sun rightly says that this new versions are hardly suitable for children.
