The illustration that should be here is really gratuitous and the story will stand on its own without it, please enjoy!

Jack Spratt

Jack Spratt could eat no fat and his wife could eat no lean.
They say between the two of them they picked their neighbors clean.
They would escaped punishment for these acts of dread,
save for the fact it's very hard to eat an entire head.
