Jack Sprat
had a wife who was fat
he laughed
and that was so mean.
She went on a diet
and then he was quiet.
She was the prettiest girl he had seen.
And though she looked dearer
would not let Jack near her,
She just let him watch as she preened.
She pranced and she strutted
and poor Jack he suffered
as she wiggled in her tight jeans..
But she didn’t care
if she got in his hair
She was beautiful and she was lean
The tables have turned
Jack’s pain he has earned
And Jack’s wife ran off with a king.
