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.
Permit me to dissect this, if you please.
On what planet would a body of water be at the top of a hill? Are we talking a little lake or a stream? Where does it lead? If it leads somewhere then chances are there is something closer on the bottom of the hill that would prevent what comes next.
Broke his crown? Is Jack royalty? If so what’s he doing fetching anything? Was he just trying to meld with the “people”? Maybe he should have taken his high fluting crown off then.
Jill never should have been following so closely, especially to a nut who fetches water with a crown.
So now our boy Jack is up again “trotting” home at top speed. What’s up with Jill at this point? Did Jacky boy leave her to rot in a ditch?
So now he’s home safe and sound and he does what anyone who hurt their heads would do, dump the leftover fries out of the condiment soaked bag and put it on your head.
What passed for writing in 1795? Now Barney? That lizard's got soul.

Did you fall down and break YOUR crown???
No, my injuries are mainly to the groin-al region and knees. I'm not lucky enough to rattle something loose upstairs.

Jill came back with a buck and a quarter
