Over the holidays I spent a little time fracturing some old nursery rhymes. I then requested that my sweetie express an opinion as to their worthiness of being posted here on the DEN. Well, lets just say she wasn’t overly impressed with any of them, but I’m going to post this one anyway.

If the reviews don’t beat me up too badly, maybe I’ll eventually post the others as well.

 

 
FRACTURED FABLES #1- JACK & JILL
 
He always carried the pails,
cause she always worried about her nails.
Up and down that hill,
often against his will,
fresh water to cure what ails.
 
 “Please join me, if you will.”
one day Jack said to Jill.
And, with barely a smirk,
said “It’s damn hot work,
trekking water up and down that hill.”
 
About the comfort we seek,
no one ever will speak
And I’ll close my eyes
as you bare your thighs
I promise you, I won’t even peek.
 
The water was very cold
and he was being very bold.
The tool that she saw
looked like it needed to thaw,
not at all like she’d been told.
 
With an unpretentious smile 
she hesitated for a while.
Then, without even folding,
began removing her clothing,
simply tossing them into a pile.
 
Soon she started to shiver,
but no warmth was he able to give her.
Slowly he wrapped her in his arms
as he turned on the charm,
which immediately caused her to quiver.
 
Jack and Jill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water.
She succumbed to his charms,
now there’s a babe in her arms
and that’s about all that it got her.

When I was a kid we used to riff on this same nursery rhyme:
Jack and Jill went up a hill,
Each one had a quarter.
They didn't go up for water!!!"
You can tell how old I am by the fact that it used to only cost 50 cents. Nowhere near that cheap today...

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
