JacknJill went up a hill and a week later they divorced.

JacknJill went up a hill

to fetch a pail of water.

Jack fell down and broke his crown

and a week later they divorced.

They spent weeks deciding

who would keep what, and when

they came to an agreement,

Jack got the pail,

Jill got the well.

 

Four years and

three months and

seven days later,

they meet again.

How are you? asks Jill

to which Jack replies,

My head hurts.

They talked and talked

no crying nor laughing. Even when

Jill suggested they take a memorial

trip up the hill.

 

So JacknJill went up a hill

to refetch a pail of water.

Jack fell down and bled to death

because Jill had finally done it right.
