Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.
Up got Jack, and home did trot
As fast as he could caper
He went to bed and bound his head
With vinegar and brown paper.


Another of those terrible rhymes that tell us a story, this time about King Louis of France (Jack) and Jill (Queen Marie Antoinette)  Jack was beheaded, followed by Jill.

As you can see, it was changed to give it a happy ending :)
