Story 160
The House that Jack Built
For two whole years Jack worked singing songs in the gayist lilt.
But after his house was finally built, he discovered that he couldn't
walk within, without things being spilt. Before long he realized that his
house was sitting on a tilt―tilting, tilting, tilting, more and more. Soon
one stilt began to sink deep into the soft silt.
Unfortunately, poor Jack was already in debt to the hilt, and
therefore, unable to have his house rebuilt.
Whats more, his ex-girl Jill gave him, the jilt!
Change: What to Whats.
