Jack Sprat

Jack Sprat could eat no fat,
His wife could eat no lean.
And so between the two of them
They licked the platter clean.

Optional extensions:

Jack ate all the lean,
Joan ate all the fat.
The bone they picked it clean,
Then gave it to the cat.

Jack Sprat was wheeling,
His wife by the ditch.
The barrow turned over,
And in she did pitch.

Says Jack, “She’ll be drowned!”
But Joan did reply,
“I don’t think I shall,
For the ditch is quite dry.”
