Jack And Jill - 21st Century Ballad Comments

A real picture of today, the fate of the elders!

a reality so aptly told! we were so far free from this evil but now on us too has fallen its shadow.

Jack and Jill Went up the hill To fetch a pale of water Jill came down With Half a crown And carrying a baby daughter Is another way of saying it: -) (half a crown is old money)

This is a very dramatic and at the sametime realistic description of the present state of many married, aging couples! With a pinch of irony and humour, you have beautifully parodied the story of Jack and Jill! Kudos! This deserves a sure10

This is quite a different read from what I learned as a child. It probably would have given me nightmares! But this is reality that you're describing, and you did a fine job.
