Jake and Jil, poetry

Jake and Jil [note homograph and homophone]
version A: Jake and Jil [note homograph and homophone]
__
we play very rough
we made ourselves tough
also like a doe
sometimes like soft dough

we play the school staff
mimic them, we laugh.
both harsh and quite soft
playing in a loft

jake's robot can cough
i prefer it off
it can also woof
then i broke it poof.

smoke rose in a puff.
(Mom:) 
"stop all that noise! 'nuf!"="do some quiet stuff"
(Jake: ) 
"stop breaking my stuff
I have had enough."

version b: we play very rough
we made ourselves tough
also like a doe
sometimes like soft dough

both harsh and quite soft
playing in a loft.
jake's robot can cough
i prefer it off

it can also woof
then i broke it poof
(Jake: ) "stop breaking my stuff
I had had enough"

smoke rose in a puff
(Jil:) "play with quiet stuff"
we play the school staff
mimic them, we laugh. Endnote: in Dr. no he had "had had the effect" p. 138
jake had had enuf, even before i broke his robot.
that book rhymed face case, i mimic:
she gave me a green case
with a smile on her face.

2, he thought it thawed
+ i will bake frozen...
chicken, garry thawt
poked it, he was wrong
it had not-yet thawd.
