Favourite nursery rhymes

[Angry Kitsune]

Awwww....Remember those cute little verses we used to say when we were kids? What's your fave? 3nodding

Mine would be:
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full;
One for the master,
And one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

It's my fave cuz Mom used to sing it to us whenever we came from kindergarten. Ah....Those were the good ole days. heart

Ring a-round the rosies,
A pocket full of posies,
Ashes! Ashes!
We all fall down!

Alternates/History:

There are many different alternates to this rhyme; the rhyme above is the most modern version.

A more traditional version goes:

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 (the Bubonic or Black Plague) 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.

This one I got from Sesame Street when I was a kid:

The Big, Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs

Wolf: Little pig, little pig!
Let me come in!
Pig: Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!
Wolf: Then I'll huff
And I'll puff
And I'll blow your house in!

Ding, dong, bell,
p***y'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 p***y cat,

Who never did him any harm,
And killed the mice in his father's barn.

I remember this one, too. I used to cry whenever I heard it. Poor kitty! crying
