Can someone tell me some nursery rhyme songs/poems that hard dark, hidden meanings, suck as "Ring Around the Rosie," "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary," or "Sing a Song of Sixpence?" I am an urban legends freak...
Nursery rhymes with hidden, dark meanings... Any others?
Humpty Dumpty really was a cannon.
Baa Baa Black Sheep was about the 100 year war.
Jack and Jill were really the King and Queen of France.
London Bridge is the history of the London Bridge.
Reply:Ring around the Rosie was a ryhyme created during/after the Plague.
It symbolized the burning of peoples cloths, posessions, etc in order to rid them of the Plague germs. We all fall down was in reference to all that had died because of the disease.
Reply:There was a little girl
and she had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead
When she was good
she was very very good
but when she was bad
she was better.
Hmmmm... Pax - C.
