Hey. Ok...I'm real intrested in the history behind nursrey rhymes its very cryptic. People say 'knick knack patty wack give a dog a bone' is something evil or something and so is 'one two buckle my shoe etc' (which I think that is about slavery) and yes ring around the rosies is about black death and so is london bridge is falling from what I heard. And Humpty Dumpty like I keep hearing about King John and stuff like I think its like weird I think it was a suicide cover up by using an egg. King John had a big fall cause he was forced to sign the magna carta. 'Ba Ba Black Sheep' is about a protest against the export tax imposed in Britain in 1275. I guess thats all I know but if you know anything email me at [email protected] cause I am VERY intrested. Thanks.
