Do u know any nursery ryhmes with hidden meanings???
Three Blind Mice: There is an urban legend that this musical round was written earlier and refers to Queen Mary I of England executing three Protestant bishops. The earliest lyrics don't talk about directly killing the three blind mice and are dated after Queen Mary died, however, "she scrapte her tripe licke thou the knife" implies they were prepared and consumed if not a reference to tasting the blood of a slain adversary.





London Bridge Is Falling Down: It relates to the many difficulties experienced in bridging the River Thames : London's earlier bridges did indeed "wash away" before a bridge built of "stone so strong" was constructed.





Humpty Dumpty: Described Humpty Dumpty as a siege tower, used by the Cavaliers (King's Men) during the English civil war. Unfortunately, as it was poorly designed, the tower often toppled over when it was full of men and broke. Hence, "All the King's horses and all the King's men, couldn't put Humpty together again."

Reply:Apparently 'Pop goes the weasel" is a nursery rhyme that tells how they used to mix rice and treacle for the little weasels to eat, and when they had gorged themselves, the rice would swell and literally make their bellies 'pop' ! Sounds cruel doesn't it?





Half a pound of tuppenny rice, half a pound of treacle,


Mix it up and make it nice,
