Rewriting a Nursery Rhyme

A while back I had decided to rewrite the "Jack and Jill went up a hill..." nursery rhyme. Here it is. I hope you enjoy it...wouldn't recommend reading it to little kids; they may have a lot of questions :)

The New Jack and Jill

Jack hooked up with Jill,
He was with her for five months until,
He grew tired,
And felt his mind being unwired.
He was after all a Capricorn,
And felt a need to be reborn.

Jack often wondered if Jill was a sorceress,
Because if she was,
He wanted nothing to do with the miss.

Yes, Jack was a Capricorn,
He was incompatible with her Gemini sign,
And preferred to be dining alone,
Sipping wine.

Jack was fed up of Jill's sense of humor,
Oh, so dry,
And her habit of smoking pot and getting high.

So leaving her was his only decision,
He moved to Ireland,
And opened up a restaurant with a theme of fusion.

The End
