Photo (And Poem): Jack And Jill’s Hill Breaks Down In Walnut Hill

March 28, 2011

There was a minor traffic hazard created on Highway 97 in Walnut Hill Sunday afternoon when a truck hauling the hill portion of “Jack and Jill” carnival ride broke down, about a mile south of the two water towers at Ernest Ward Middle.

After taking a photo, we were unable to resist having fun with a local rendition of the Jack and Jill nursery rhyme. (Our apologies in advance.)

Jack And Jill’s Hill In Walnut Hill

Jack and Jill went up to Walnut Hill
Not from the tower of water.
The truck broke down with a funny sound
And people to help came after.

The engine did come back to life again
With the work of a couple of men.
But not before a North Escambia photo
So that the world would know

That Jack and Jill’s very famous hill
had been in our very own Walnut Hill.

    I saw a truck named Jack n Jill
    Broke down on the road near Walnut Hill
    I went on by…being short on time
    I could not help…but I wrote this rhyme

    I did not see Jack…and I did not see Jill
    As I went down the road thru Walnut Hill
    Jack and Jill got a divorce I hear
    Jill got it all but left Jack in fear

    Just something we cant resist though…can we…should have had everyone write their own little jingle…then let us vote for the winner…cute story anyway
