jack and jill wanted to be good little entrepreneurs
so they went up the hill to sell a pail of water
but no coin was made ’cos no one wanted to climb
that big ass hill in the summer to buy water with a metallic aftertaste
that hadn’t been chilled or bottled or had a wedge of lime affixed to
so jack and jill came grumbling back down
and died in a cardboard hovel from dehydration and harsh market realities

unbolt me 
Such honest, terrible truth in here. I wouldn’t buy that damn water anyway…I mean,seriously! I’m sure there’s bugs in there, and god knows what else! 😛

Really, and truly. Though not nearly as bad as fishing Turkish Delight out of a loo…at least I imagine not. Your writing is brilliant. 🙂

That story was pretty damn memorable Tony. Once you’ve gone there, what’s a little germy, bug-infested water between friends? You’re most welcome. Have a great day!

Fabulously funny! And I love the understated cracks at people’s penchant for la-di-dah bottled water!
