I realized one day while watching The Simpsons (The one where Marge or Homer, I can't remember, sings that song to Maggie and Maggie envisions herself falling out of a tree and is petrified.) that that song IS incredibly terrifying! I'm totally using your new lyrics.

i hope this doesn't offend anyone...

i think the song is just to soothe the mommies with post-partum depression.

...Ya, I remember when i was little we alays used to sing,
"ring around the rosies,
pocket full of posies,
ashes, ashes, we all fall down"

i heard that's some kind of war related- SICK MINDED thing.
We used to sing that as kids!!!

It IS! Hmm. I remember learning about that in school but I can't remeber what it meant. :\

its actually about the plague.
"ring around the rosy"
- the ring type welts on peoples bodies
"pocket full of posies"
- people kept posies in handkerchiefs to hold up their noses to stifle the smell of decaying bodies.
"ashes ashes we all fall down"
- somewhere along the way its been turned to ashes when it was once "husha" to simulate the sound of a sneeze. Sneezing = the plague = "we all fall down" = dying.

Aww! Those are some good lyrics you've added! :)

Happy Thanksgiving! (Although I guess it's a day late).
