Once Upon A Time

I just have to mention nursery rhymes, and wonder why we tell them to our children when some of them have some pretty violent pasts or made to mock someone. Take ring around the rosy, yeah lets give our child a sing song version of the bubonic plague or the London bridge is falling down, who does not want to tell their child of the many disasters that befell the London bridge or of sacrificing children which is another popular theory of the origin of the London bridge. There is also Mary, Mary, quite contrary which is about Mary queen of Scott who was beheaded for trying to assassinate Elizabeth or it could also of been about Mary I of England also known as...Bloody Mary. And Lastly, Rock A Bye Baby.....here we go, lets put our little one to sleep with their own death......
