Jack Spratt | Joshua Robertson

I wrote a poem in March of 2015 and eventually expanded on the scribblings, making a fun little tale. You can now get it on Amazon for 99 cents. The original peom is below.


​Jack Spratt could eat no fat
His wife could eat no lean
Consuming stupid school girls
They licked each femur clean
Jack ate all the thin
Joan ate all the plump
Taking girls into the woods
Their bones put in a stump
Jack Spratt chewed away
His wife smacked her lips
The sheriff they did miss
Hands upon his hips
Says Jack, "It’s not my fault!"
Then Joan did reply
"I was not the one
who brought them by and by!"

Joshua Robertson is an award-winning author in epic, dark fantasy. You may recognize him as the dude whose dragons were said to destroy George R.R. Martin's and Christopher Paolini's dragons in a very biased Twitter poll. His first novel, Melkorka, was released in 2015, and he has been writing fantasy fiction like clockwork ever since. Known most for his Thrice Nine Legends Saga, Robertson enjoys an ever-expanding and extremely loyal following of readers. He currently lives in North Carolina with his better half and his horde of goblins.
