Well that was an interesting read.

Some of them seem less valid, but others have some pretty believable background.

I'm particularly amused at how these meaningful rhymes which tried to evoke a (usually dark) message are passed on as a sort of playful child song, child being the keyword here. The one that especially intrigues me is the "Ring around the Rosy". Imagine, as a kid I was laughing at the song with mates when in reality it's about a flock of people dying off a deadly disease! LOL, irony at its best.

It was quite aninteresting read: my favourite was the one on 'Humpty Dumpty'!

And yeah, 'Ring around the Rosy' and 'Mary Mary' were kinda grim...
