I'm sure you've grown up as a kid while learning nursery rhymes in kindergarten but most people do not know that these innocent songs are actually a way for people to retell a tragedy that has happened some where along the timeline of history. So to help remind the public about the origins, here are some with a twist as a reminder.
Jack & Jill
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.
Jack Fell down and broke his crown and Jill ran after him in a state of panic but it was too late as Jack has already has major brain damage and is now in a vegetative state.
London Bridge
London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down.
London bridge is falling down and my fair lady along lies dead among a large amount of corpses under the rubble that resulted from this tragic catastrophe.
Ring Around The Rosy
Ring around the rosy, a pocket full of posies.
A-tishoo! A-tishoo! Get away from those children! That coughing and sneezing are symptoms of the plague. Ashes! Ashes! Burn the infected dead! Stop the spreading! (Note: A-tishoo is commonly used in the UK while Ashes is widely used in the States.)
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's man almost lost their dinner because Humpty Dumpty's head cracked open and exposed and who said Humpty Dumpty was an egg?
Hope you guys found the origins of nursery rhymes interesting as I did. Perhaps some day we would have one for Brexit and/or The Presidential Election of 2016. Cya awesome peeps :D
