Question: Why do nursery rhymes have such a frightening/weird origin?
Like Jack and Jill - Louis XVI who was beheaded (lost his crown) followed by his Queen Marie Antoinette (who came tumbling after).
The pied piper- They didn't pay him so he slaughtered all their children.
Mary Mary quite contrary- was about her killing protestants.
Old Mother Hubbard- About Henry VIII & Katherine of Aragon
Humpty Dumpty- An egg who died...(something about the English Civil War)
Why do they tell these things to kids?
Oh yeah
Ring a ring a rosie about the bubonic plague
Answer: Nursery rhymes are an imaginative way of introducing kids to the world's harsh reality. Contrast that with "progressive" schoolmarms indoctrinating kids with trendy, pop kulchur nonsense--which prepares them for nothing on this earth.
