  1. Um, not sure what your asking but I do know that "Ring around the Rosy" is really about the Black Death. Think about it: "...Ashes,ashes we all fall down." They burned the dead bodies, falling down: dying. Kind of sick that they made it into a song that children would sing.


  2. Ladybug, ladybug, fly away home,

    Your house is on fire and your children are gone,

    All except one and that's little Anne,

    For she crept under the frying pan.

    Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater,

    Had a wife and couldn't keep her!

    He put her in a pumpkin shell,

    And there he kept her very well.

    There was an old woman who lived in a shoe,

    She had so many children she didn't know what to do.

    So she gave them some broth, without any bread,

    And whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.

    Little Polly Flinders

    Sat among the cinders,

    Warming her pretty little toes.

    Mother came and caught her,

    And whipped her pretty daughter

    For spoiling her nice new clothes.

    Ring a ring a rosy was actually sang about the bubonic plague (black death).

    "Ring a ring a rosy" was the symptom, where red rings appeared on your skin.

    "A pocket full of posies" were flowers people kept to warn off the disease

    "A tissue! A tissue!" Coughing, a sympton

    "We all fall down" Dead.

  3. Beware the stare of Mary Shaw,

    She has no children, only dolls.

    And if you see her in your dreams,

    make sure you never ever scream.

  4. just tell them da story of bambi

  5. "Oranges and lemons" say the Bells of St. Clement's

    "You owe me five farthings" say the Bells of St. Martin's

    "When will you pay me?" say the Bells of Old Bailey

    "When I grow rich" say the Bells of Shoreditch

    "When will that be?" say the Bells of Stepney

    "I do not know" say the Great Bells of Bow

    "Here comes a Candle to light you to Bed

    Here comes a Chopper to Chop off your Head

    Chip chop chip chop - the Last Man's Dead."
