it seems to me though by tonight Humpty is being glued back together again.
You are correct about nursery rhymes though. I know 'ring a ring a rosy' was actually Small Pox.

We were taught the same about the nursery rhymes; it was the writer's way of staying out of trouble while mocking the rich and powerful. I believe there is more than one wall due for a tumble - let's get at it!

I think one could make anything out of anything and the nursery rhymes show that double entendre.

Good morning
I had no clue about the double meaning written in children's nursery rhymes. Thanks for the lesson.
