Jack and Jill,
are hipsters still
drink mason Jars of water
Jack Jives by night
his band’s delight
Jill dreams of being a potter
Jack’s day Job sucks
roundabout he mucks
writing Jingles down on paper
Jumbled days slide by
with lone Jailbird sigh
yet still he is a Japer
Jill dreads the morn
John Barleycorn
Jack’s friends are Just so Jerky
in skinny Jeans faded
vintage closet raided
they ate all her tofurky
Jack pops Jam cakes
Jill lovingly bakes
vegan to keep her figure
an idea Jolts bright
Joyful time is right
the market even bigger
Jack and Jill
quite fit the bill
Jolly in a big Joint venture
now Judge and Jury
in capitalist fury
they’ve secured a
fair-trade debenture

Thank you – the first thing that came to mind for J was that old singsong “jelly in a bowl, jelly in a bowl, wiggle waggle, wiggle waggle, jelly in a bowl…” a little less exciting …

oh I’ve a creative song writer now – that’s what I’ve been longing for so long: your permission, to sing your lyrics: that challenge will make my day today! Actually it’s still night here, but during daylight I’ll send the results to you: my singing on soundcloud – and a blog post with a quotation of your lyrics, my singing – and of course a back link to your page, O.K.?
