Jack met Jill and he was smitten. She was a bit of a
tearaway and felt unloved. So Jack married her and gave her a home. She wanted
a baby but Jack wanted to be responsible and have enough money to give his kids
a good life. But Jill came off the pill and tricked him. They had a baby. Jack
fell in love with the baby, as did Jill. For a while the three of them lived up
the hill and were very happy. But Jill decided that Jack had quite a few faults
and she tried to change him. But Jack wasn't quite ready. So Jill decided to
kick Jack up the arse and out on his ear. He pleaded with Jill but she was a
hard faced cow and had her mind made up. Still Jack came back and pleaded some
more. Jill liked the way that sometimes Jack still made her feel and along came
baby number two. But Jill was a hard faced cow and told Jack the baby is mine
this time and don't come back. Jill saw her solicitor and divorced poor Jack
and made him sign to say he would pay everyday for what was his. Then Jill let Jack
baby sit day in and day, and pay for the food and nice days out until Jill met
Peter and Paul, Tom, Dick and Harry. Eventually she settled for Little Boy Blue
because he was younger and she could blow on his horn. She was a hard faced cow
and sent Jack packing again with 'and don't come back'. She wanted a new life
with Little Blue Boy and Jack was bereft. Jill and Little Boy Blue changed the
kids surname and tried to cut Jack right out of their lives and told the kids
that daddy was a dead beat and he didn't care. Jack wept and wept until he eventually
decided no more to weep and met up with Little Bo Peep. Little Bo Beep said all
was ok and he was entitled to see his kids and so he did. But Jill was jealous
of Little Bo Peep and she was a hard faced cow. So she was unkind to Little Bo
Peep and she tried and she tried to stop access by Jack to his two little boys.
She told them daddy was a dead beat and not any good. And in fact they should
just call him Jack. Eventually Little Bo Peep got lost with the sheep and Jack
was lonely and bereft. He wept and wept. He took a big stick and filled his
best hanky with snot and off he went into the big wide world to seek his
fortune and bury his sorrows. Eventually he met Miss Whiplash from Venus. She
knew he had faults but she would whip his arse into shape and would love her bits.
His kids were now grown and Little Boy Blue didn't love them like his own. But
still the kids thought Jack was a deadbeat and that he didn't care. But Jack
thought of them everyday and every night and knew that one day they would see
what a hard face cow Jill had been and all he had wanted was to be a good dad.
They grew up into fine young men and had kids of their own. They knew how hard
it was to be a good dad. They knew what a swine was Little Boy Blue. And what
hard faced cow was Jill. Yet Jack he wanted to be a good dad still. That though
is what is sad. Because Jack was denied the right to a role in the lives of his
boys he found it real hard to know how to behave- you see you need to practice
everyday to be a good dad. Whereas being a hard face cow comes natural to some.
His sons don't know how to be good to poor Jack. Every birthday and every
fathers day and every Christmas day Jack is reminded what Jill has done in
teaching her boys they had a dead beat dad. And Little Boy Blue get his horn
blowed and showered with gifts he barely deserves. Poor Jack sits with Miss
Whiplash from venus - but he knows for sure she will always love him to bits.
