Poetry Challenge #1

I came up with this idea as a way to try to get people interested in at least attempting to try poetry.

The challenge was to take your favorite nursery rhyme, and rewrite it. Taking the first line and keeping the rhythm in place.

Here's my little entry. Enjoy!

Jack Sprat could eat no fat,
His wife, she was so mean.
She fixed a meal of poison'd pie,
Then listened to his screams.

The pain, immense, did him in,
His widow 's eyes did gleam.
Gleefully grinding his bones to dust,
She boil'd him in some cream.

The platter full, she did lick clean,
Then grabbed her fav'rite hat.
She travelled to the 'royal throne',
then Jack became the shat.

As you can see, I had fun with this one!!!!
