JACK AND JILL
“Jumping Juniper
cloudless skies!”
Jack is curious,
“Jill,” he cries.
Chirping chick-a-des.
Buzzing bees!
Squirls scampering,
humming trees.
Spring’s awakening.
“Let’s go hop!
Hill awaiting
at the top.”
Pail is waterless,
not in need.
Chores forgotten
yes, indeed!
Jill is overjoyed.
Spring has sprung.
Flying butterflies,
Oh, what fun!
Brand new buttercups
fill the fields.
Nice and colorful.
beauty yields.
Day was fabulous.
Sky turns gray.
Rain’s predicted,
We can’t stay.
Running hurriedly
down we go.
Jill starts tumbling
fast not slow.
Rolling lopsided
boom she falls.
Standing vertically,
“Help!” Jill calls.
Shrieking bellowing,
“I’m not hurt!”
Brushing franticly,
lots of dirt.
Walking silently
had a blast.
Comfy residence,
home at last!
Oh my goodness…this is so uplifting and delightful!!! I read it over several times, just for the smiles it put on my face. What a fun, fanciful twist to the old poem. Love the new perspective!

What a fun, bouncing rhyme. It feels like it would work well for a board book.
