Jack and the Beanstalk

It all began when Daisy, had to be sold,
She was coughing up spit, and was sadly getting old.

So Jack's mother told him to take her down,
To the finest, richest, market in town.

Jack told a buyer that Daisy, was on her last year,
And all Jack got back was a bean, and half a pear.

When Jack got home he was surprised to see,
His mother was as angry as could be.

She went crazy and whacked Jack with a fork,
But the very next morning outside was a giant stalk.

The stalk was mighty, and mostly green,
Except for the gold leaves, up high in between.

Jack's mum was greedy and wanted the lot,
So she made a quite selfish, evil plot.

She raised her voice, without a frown,
"I’ll be the richest girl in town."

She yelled at Jack to go for gold,
And of course he did what he was told.

When he was almost at the top,
He heard a voice and took a hop.

As curious as could be,
He shot right up the golden tree.

"PEA, CARROT, PEA,
WHO IS BOTHERING ME?
WHOEVER IT IS THEY WILL MAKE MY TEA!"

"There’s a giant up the tree! Jack cried.
"Just get the gold," his mother replied.

So Jack was nimble,
And Jack was quick,
He was beside the gold in half a tick.

He took a step, the leaves went crack,
The giant grabbed his axe and "Smack!"

Jack hadn’t come back for an hour or so,
So his mother thought she’d have a go.

Now she wasn’t the best climber in town,
But after a while she was up and back down.

She had the gold and so much more,
Two mansions and a platinum door.

So that is how our story ends,
Did Jack die? Well it depends…..
