How Jack and Jill Got Up the Hill
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
But as they tottered the days grew hotter and so they didn’t even bother.
Some days they traveled on their bikes
And found it much better than yesterday's hike
Some days they were too lazy for the bike
And drank from the pool water at night.
As you could imagine they became real sick
Turning around in their beds having fits
Until Jill jumped out of bed to say
“When it comes to this there has to be an easier way.”
So they stole mom ‘s car to make a quick fill
But as they fetched, the car rolled down the hill
They couldn’t even fetch a simple pail of water
They tried and tried but it kept getting harder
So instead of tumbling down and taking such crap
They gave in and downloaded the uber app
Their driver came by in the nick of time
And took them up the hill for a very low price
So now Jack and Jill don’t take any falls
Everyday is uber they make the effort to call,
Like millennials they seemed to deliver their haul
Without doing any work at all!
