Jack Sprat
Jack Sprat is a nursery rhyme with lyrics as follows:
- Jack Sprat could eat no fat
- His wife could eat no lean.
- And so between the two of them,
- They licked the platter clean!
The word between in the third line is alternatively seen as the word betwixt.

This site Suggests the possible derivation of the rhyme. I have not been able to substantiate it thus far.
