Britain's best-loved nursery rhymes have been given a 21st century facelift – and the new versions are hardly suitable for children.
The likes of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Jack and Jill and Baa Baa Black Sheep have been updated by a cheeky poet to include references to ASBOs, sex and drugs.
The spoofs are printed in a tongue-in-cheek new book by author Felix Dennis, entitled When Jack Sued Jill: Nursery Rhymes for Modern Times.
Dennis said the age-old kids' songs made the perfect vehicle to joke about the darker side of today's Britain.
