Jack Jingle Went 'prentice
Jack Jingle Went 'prentice
Nursery Rhyme
Jack Jingle went 'prentice
To make a horse-shoe,
He wasted the iron
Till it would not do.
His master came in,
And began for to rail;
Says Jack,
"The shoe's spoiled,
But 't will still make a nail."
He tried at the nail,
But, chancing to miss,
Says, "If it won't make a nail,
It shall yet make a hiss."
Then into the water
Threw the hot iron, smack!
"Hiss!" quoth the iron;
"I thought so," says Jack.
