The Real Jack And Jill

Do you really wanna know,
the truth behind Jack?
the guy who fell head first,
with a big loud "crack!"

Do you think he's off,
to fetch some water?
well before that moment,
he wasn't even sober,
he can hardly stand,
for he drank too much,
as Jill think its wise,
for them to split and such.

He can't take the pain,
the situation was bad,
he kept on thinking that,
he is better off dead.

So he went up the hill,
to end his life right there,
by jumping off the hill,
hoping to give Jill a real big scare.

He wanted to make Jill,
scarred for life,
wanting her to know,
that she ended his life.

So when he was about to jump,
he heard a familiar voice,
it was Jill who was telling
Jack to make the right choice.

Jack scowled at her and said,
"Shut up! You are too late!
I'm going to be dead!
but your memory of me
dying in front of you will
forever be stuck in your head!"

So he gave out a laugh,
which was rather scary,
and jumped off the hill,
looking strangely happy.

But Jill was fast to react,
and she pulled him back,
so he fell on a safer place,
with all of his body parts intact.

But Jill's luck was beginning,
to take an awfully bad turn,
as Jack landed on his head,
and suffered a concussion.

So who said Nursery Rhymes are all happy stuff?
the truth is just kept from the kiddies,
in fact it's pretty nasty and pretty rough.
and the rest as you all know is history....

A Few Coins In Hand..

A hand is cast into the darkness,
while another plays a musical tune,
hoping that someone would appreciate his craft,
and give him a dollar or two.

But his music is scarcely appreciated,
for it was met mostly with scowls and frowns,
for people think that he feeds on sympathy,
but maybe he just wants his talent to be found.

What about the old people then?
Aren't they a little old for showbiz?
asks some people in their hearts,
but theres one fact that they missed,
employers wont hire the elderly,
for the only important things in life are,
cheap labour,profits and money!
I may be bold to stereotype the conglomerates,
but most of this is true,
just look at the foreign talents that are used.

Life is cruel,yes thats true,
but why cant we make it easier,
for those who need more help than you do?

So,lets just put a few cents,
into that container with a smile,
hoping the best for them,
to make their efforts worthwhile.
