The Whys of Jack and Jill

Pop64

She said, “Why don’t the two of us go up there and see what we could find?”

He said, hesitantly, “Okay, but are you sure you’re ready?”

She said while staring, “I’ve never been so ready, my love”

“Fine then, let’s have a go at it, no regrets”, he said.

 

They climbed and climbed, knowing what to expect.

Each wanted the other equally, knowing the dangers.

He and she together will be able to speak of this moment

forever to their children and their children’s children.

He knew he could take her to the top and

she knew that once there; she would never want to leave.

They were two lovers, always seeking, never knowing

what would happen next but would always embrace their time.

With her hand in his and a bucket in the other,

he had lost his footing and fell back down to where they began.

She, never letting go, only wanting to be with him,

went tumbling down as well, landing on top of him.

They would love and live to try again another day.

    Great way to think about Jack and Jill
    I love it

  • peto

    Jack and jill
    Went up the hill
    To fetch a pail of water
    Jill forgot
    To take the pill
    And now they've got a daughter

    Forgive me pop
    Couldn't resist
    Love your slant on this

      Hahaha, yep that's another version,
      My dad always said it like

      Jack and Jill went up the hill to have a little fun,
      Jill fell down and now Jack has a little son
