I have to admit that I got this idea from watching Last Comic Standing last night. One of the comedians was making fun of Rock-A-Bye-Baby. Think about it..It is pretty violent. Why in the world would someone decide one day to tell their kid that the tree with the baby was going to fall- baby & all?! How soothing is that?! Then I remember hearing something about Ring Around The Rosie. It is a little story about the Bubonic Plague. Yikes!
I looked up some little known nursery rhyme origins and found this helpful site. Nursery Rhyme Origins
It's no wonder everyone is disfunctional these days. Look what was recited to us. Stories of the London Bridge falling down, a king & queen being beheaded and Bloody Mary! Fascinating!
