Hill Number One
Has anyone wondered why
Jack and Jill went up–
stop right there
why is that well on top
of a hill anyway? Apparently
gravity works in their world
otherwise they wouldn’t
have fallen
down,
geddit?
–but anyway it seems
some joker told them to climb
that awful slope
when any well atop it
had to be a dry hole
(like sending newbies
for a left-handed
thirteen-line sonnet)
so those poor kids fell
probably in love or something
now they’ve been had together
got something in common
and aren’t falling
for someone else’s
bucket list again
(wait 'til they find out
what Jill broke)
