This boy’s name is Jack
He’s a plain looking lad
He is not very good,
Nor yet very bad.
He had a large goose
That laid eggs of pure gold
And he thought in his head, “this is very
obtuse”
For his benefit, he left this story
untold.
He had a friend that he liked a lot,
She was very beautiful and her name was
Jill,
So he gathered the courage and gave it a
shot,
They are still together much to his
thrill.
They went to bed early one summer’s
night,
They had to get sleep to do all their
chores.
But before they went to bed, their
prayers they recite
Very early the next morning, they would
have to rise.
Jack and Jill were pretty great adults,
But they laid in bed until the clock
struck ten.
Then Jack sat up from bed in a way so
abrupt
And said, “oh lovely Jill, the day’s
almost spent”.
They ran so quick Jill hit a wall and
fell,
Little did she know she knocked over humpty
dumpty,
Since she didn’t know, an apology she
could not tell,
This made him kind of mad and very very
grumpy.
Jack and Jill went up the Hill to fetch a
pail of water,
On their way, they ran into Little Mary Bo
Peep
Bo Peep was using the herder Jack bought
her
One of her critters stood out, for he was
the only black sheep.
Bo peep was talking to the little sheep,
While Jack and Jill didn’t say a peep.
Mary said “Bah bah black sheep, have you
any wool?”
“Yes Mary, Yes Mary. Three bags full.
One for my master and one for my dame,
But none for the little boy who cries in
the lane”.
Later Jack and Jill returned to fetch
another pail,
They found Mary sleeping all on her own,
No sign of her sheep, not even a tail.
Suddenly, she awoke with a whine and a
moan.
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep,
And can't tell where to find them;
Jack said “Leave them alone, and they'll come home,
And bring their tails behind them.”
Little Bo-peep fell fast asleep,
And dreamt she heard them bleating;
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For they were still a-fleeting.
Then up she took her little crook,
Determin'd for to find them;
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they'd left all their tails behind 'em.
Jack and Jill went shortly to bed
Late on a beautiful Sunday
They both must pray then rest their head
For tomorrow is a rather busy Monday.
Months passed before they heard the
story,
By this time, the weather was cold and
snow began to flurry
The story has an end that is rather sad
It’s about a fall that an unlucky egg
had.
IN marble walls as white as milk,
Lined with a skin as soft as silk;
Within a fountain crystal clear,
A golden apple doth appear.
No doors there are to this stronghold.
Yet things break in and steal the gold.
Lined with a skin as soft as silk;
Within a fountain crystal clear,
A golden apple doth appear.
No doors there are to this stronghold.
Yet things break in and steal the gold.
(This previous rhyme describes an egg)
HUMPTY DUMPTY sate on a wall;
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
Three score men and three score more
Cannot place Humpty Dumpty as he was before.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
Three score men and three score more
Cannot place Humpty Dumpty as he was before.
Hey Linzee,
ReplyDeleteThis was a very creative way to tell a story. The other story I read this week was also based off of a nursery rhyme. However, I found your approach to writing your story a little lighter. I feel like it would have taken you a while to get the flow of the syllables and the rhyming words to work. You did a great job on doing all of that. I think you did a wonderful job with this story! Keep it up!
This was a really cute way to tell the story. You did a really good job of keeping the rhythm and making it rhyme. I definitely want to read that unit this week since I feel like there have been so many cute stories from it haha.
ReplyDeleteOverall, really good job!
This was a very impressive story! I’ve never been able to write anything that remotely resembles a poem so this was fun to read. I like that you combined many nursery rhymes into one and the story stayed entertaining throughout. I read a few other storytelling posts from these nursery rhymes but nobody took the time to make a poem, good job!
