No! Its not Roald Dahl. Its Joan Graham
JACK AND JILL AND ALL THAT DISCO
Said Jack to Jill, "Now here's the pitch!" (their mother was a beastly witch,) She was so ugly, cruel and vile, they planned to only stay awhile.
Said Jack and Jill "Hey mother dear, here's something you might like to hear. That there's a crashing disco band performing down in Fairyland."
Now Mother liked a bit of jive, it really made her feel alive. She thought she'd go and dance a few. Said jack and Jill "Can we come too?"
"Now just see here! You act your age! I'm going to lock you in your cage. She gave them her most fearful grin and went off looking neat and trim.
She waved a skinny, gruesome hand. (It's quite a way to Fairyland.) A car came burning down the road. Gave her a lift! The rotten toad.
Arriving at the disco do, Mum thought to show a little "shoe." She jigged and jived, before they knew, she'd downed some jugs of Fairy brew.
At midnight Mum caused quite a stir. By now the band was sick of her. They packed their gear and headed home and left poor Mum to rant and moan.
When Mum got home, (you could say "drunk",) she hit the sacking with a clunk. And there she lay in disco dreams, heedless of the children's screams.
Said Jack to Jill "Were'e out of here, let's hurry up and grab our gear." So Jill took off her knitted sock and used them to unpick the locks. They hurried out and slammed the door and left old Mum to snort and snore.
"I'll get those little rats," Mum cried,and evil potions new she tried. But things went wrong and what Mum saw was huge, vile monsters at the door.
Mum screamed and flew into a rage and dashed into the empty cage. The monsters looking mighty grim just walked across and locked her in.
They kept her ther against her will. (For all we know she's in there still!) And Jack and Jill, you can be sure, joined with the band and went on tour.
