  1. I'm sure you're not confusing an Agatha Christie novel with a nursey rhyme... therefore I'm betting you're thinking of The 3 Little Pigs.


  2. Lots of old nursery rhymes were very violent or rather transparently sexual. This didnt stop people from repeating them for centuries -- it probably made it a little more interesting for the person trying to keep the kids amused.

    The other answer correctly quotes the rhyme for this phrase. There was a terrific mystery movie made based on the Agatha Christie movie sometime around 1940 or so.  They did a remake in the 50's or 60's but it wasnt nearly as good.

  3. i just read the agatha christie novel with this in it

    ten little indian boys went out to dine

    one choked his little self and then there were nine

    nine litle indian boys sat up very late

    one overslept himself and then there were eight

    eight little indian boys travelling in devon

    one said he'd stay there and then there were seven

    seven little indian boys chopping up sticks

    one chopped himself in halves and then there were six

    six little indian boys playing with a hive

    a bumblebee stung one and then there were five

    five little indian boys going in for law

    one got in chancery and then there were four

    four little indian boys going out to sea

    a red herring swallowed one and then there were three

    three little indian boys walking in the zoo

    a big bear hugged one and then there were two

    two little indian boys sitting in the sun

    one got frizzled up and then there was one

    one little indian boy left all alone

    he went and hanged himself and then there were none.

  4. this little piggy went to market.

    this little piggy stayed home.

    this little piggy had roast beef.

    this little piggy had none.

    and

    this little piggy went wee wee wee all the way home.

    i can not believe you made me write that????

  5. Five little Easter eggs, lovely colors wore,

    Mother ate the blue one, then there were four.

    Four little Easter eggs, two and two you see,

    Daddy ate the red one, then there were three.

    Three little Easter eggs, before I knew,

    Sister ate the yellow one, then there were two.

    Two little Easter eggs, oh what fun,

    Brother ate the purple one, then there was one.

    One little Easter egg, see me run,

    I ate the green one, then there were none.

  6. There's also Five Little Pumpkins, Five Little Witches, and Five Little Ghosts, all obviously Halloween-themed.  And there's the song Five Green and Speckled Frogs, which is absolutely adorable.  I think Raffi does this one.  Here's a web site with Nursery Rhymes:

    enchantedlearning.com is also an excellent website and so is preschooleducation.com
