| This is one of the neatest things I've read in a long time. For years I've wondered what the olde, olde rhymes meant. They are imbedded in my brain from child hood.
I never came close to guessing the reasons. (Although the Black Death and Ring around the Rosey made me a little less likely to want to deciper them.) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pop goes the weasel

| Thanks, Ann. My granddaughter who is going on 3 is just getting into these nursery rhymes like Ring around the Rosey. I knew the origin of that one (rather unpleasant thoughts) but I always wondered about the weasel. Fun link! |

| The though suddenly occurs to me that it's the ME equivalent of modern rap... spontaneous, instantaneous, reflective of the immediate circumstances and prevailing emotions. Interesting. Thank you. M |
