For instance, Humpty Dumpty fell and was unable to be put back together. That's tragic! Although, I read the history behind this and it is actually about a cannon in the Civil War.
Jack & Jill... they went to get water and Jack fell and broke his crown!? The history- It's actually about two boys... Jack and Gill. And, its said to be a parody about Wolsey's uphill battle for peace and his eventual failure.
Rock a bye baby...may be the worst. "When the bough breaks the cradle will fall, and down will come baby, cradle and all..." Um...?? The history behind this one is said to be a warning to those who strive to climb so high that they eventually fall.
Little Miss Muffet...Poor thing couldn't even enjoy her curds and whey because of that damn spider.
Rub a dub dub... Three men in a tub? Enough said.
"There was an old woman who lived in a shoe she had so many children she didn't know what to do"... A single mom, living in a shoe...?
There is also one called "I Love Little Pussy"... Um, I know its about a cat, but read it... it could mean otherwise.
Maybe, I am just over analyzing them but they seem pretty screwed up to me. lol
