Jack and jill spoof comic strips

The rhyme dates back at least to the 18th century, one version even with 15 stanzas.

Thus it shouldn't be necessary to have to go up a hill to get water. Similarly, if the water is coming from a well, then building a well at the top of a hill seems an odd choice to Megan.
