Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch water needed for life
Jack fell down and broke his crown
Said Jill-If you expect a woman to follow, you'd better get another wife
After needed repairs, Jack sped to their home
Expecting to resume their existing relationship
No, No said Jill, who then sued for divorce
Alleging she was subject to gross endangerment
First published some 140 years ago
This nursery rhyme reflected standards then common to our nation
Hardly relevant today
In the time of womens' liberation
