Today, shock and scandal reached new heights in Fairyland. After years of stories like babies being left in trees or naked men bathing together, today it was discovered that a plate and a spoon have run away to Boston to get married. Common law in Fairyland prohibits such outlandish unions from occurring.2
For me, Jack Sprat, this was astounding news. I personally have dated the plate and she was a true dish. The spoon, it is rumoured, had been handled by just about everyone in fairyland. Sources say that Puss'n Boots and Elsie the cow were in attendance at this sordid affair. When questioned, the cat said all he did was provide violin music but the cow said that she "jumped" at the chance to be the maid of honor. She says the little dog was asked to be the best man but he just laughed.3
The dish and spoon spent their honeymoon in the dishwasher at the baker's place. They tried to stay at both the butcher's and the candlestick maker's place but both refused. Upon interviewing the butcher, he stated "A plate and a spoon, what's next? Pretty soon the sky will fall and that will be the end of it all?4
As for this reporter, I guess I'll switch to bowls. This is Jack Sprat.5

Cute
I really enjoyed it! I think it is good that some people can take old nursery rhymes like this and put a twist on it so that those of us who are no longer children can still enjoy the stories that we once loved!!!

Wow, I hadn't thought about that rhyme in a while, but now it's all coming back....Top-notch reporting. I'm thinking I'd rather read the Fairyland newspaper than USA Today.

Very creative. I liked the news reporter twist.
I think Jack Sprat should go anchor for CBS. Seems he may be a little more neutral than Dan "Rathertwistit"! lol, Good stuff!

o my crap this is sooo funny, i chuckled the whole way through. a truly great job!
-
I used laughed because in the nursery rhyme, the little dog laughed to see such a sport. You are right about interviewing.
-
This is a fantastic spin on old fairytales, Lady! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this "news flash:" exceptionally well written, not only in keeping with the humor of delightful yarns but also in line with good journalism.
I did detect two minor problems for edit: "but he just laughed," being that this is a dog, I feel "howled" would work better: a word also used to denote raucous laughter. And, "Upon interview the butcher, he stated" should reflect "interviewing." If you read that phrase aloud, you quickly will detect the grammatical flaw it presents.
As far as I'm concerned, this is a winner and should be in some contest garnering the gold! Love and hugs, BonnieQ

LOl ROFL this is absolutely hilarious, you have a very witty way of drying with a dry humour using the pun to your advantage and I simply loved it. My favourite lines were these,
