I know this thread is juvenile but it,s only fun and life is too short to be serious june xx

Goosey, goosey, gander, Whither shall I wander? Upstairs, and downstairs, And in my lady's chamber. There I met an old man Who wouldn't say his prayers! I took him by the left leg And threw him down the stairs. Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns! One a penny, two a penny, Hot cross buns! If you have no daughters, Give them to your sons! One a penny, two a penny, Hot cross buns!

I knew this 1 from when i was little and also knew what it meant so i google it just incase some didn't Ring-a-ring o' roses, A pocket full of posies, Achoo!, Achoo! We all fall down. This innocent sounding rhyme, first appearing in the 1881 book Mother Goose, is actually a much older chant that goes back to the 1660s and is thought to be about the Plague of London which killed 70,000 of the 460,000 residents. 'Ring-a-ring o' roses' refers to the rosy colored rash one would get. An early symptom of the plague. 'Pocket full of posies' refers to the medicine and herbs people carried in their pockets to prevent the plague. 'Achoo! Achoo! We all fall down' are the last sneezes of the person and collapse of one who had died.

Julie i think a lot of nursery rhymes have some history too them like Georgie Porgy refers to King George etc and the Ring of Roses as you said v true.. but sad june xx

Ding, dong, bell, Pussy's in the well. Who put her in ? Little Johnny Green. Who pulled her out? Little Tommy Stout. What a naughty boy was that To try to drown poor pussy cat, Who never did him any harm, And killed the mice in his father's barn.

Little Jack Horner sat in a corner Eating a homemade pie, He stuck in his thumb then said to his mum 'Where's th' gravy, this flaming thing's dry'. Jeff PMSL

Oh Budgie methinks you are a bad lad June ..

Mary had a little lamb She also had a bear I've often seen her little lamb But I've never seen her bear. Jeff Lol

Mary ahd a little lamb She also had a duck She put them on the mantlepiece To see if they would fall off.

Are you lads making these up? june ..

Mary had a little lamb, It's fleece was white as snow; And everwhere that Mary went The lamb was sure to go. It followed her to school one day, That was against the rule; It made the children laugh and play To see the lamb at school. And so the teacher turned it out, But still it lingered near, And waited patiently about Till Mary did appear. Why does the lamb love Mary so? The eager children cry; Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know, The teacher did reply.
