RE: Dark, Disturbing and Somewhat Horrible, the History and Origins of Nursery Rhymes #1: 🐭Three Blind Mice 🐭
I have read a few articles similar to these where the truth about nursery rhymes has been exposed and the truth is startling and annoying each time. Honestly, if you read the lyrics of different rhymes out loud, you will realize that a lot of them were never meant to be rhymes for little kids because they have hidden messages in them and a lot of them don't make sense too. Jack and Jill, Pop Goes the Weasel and Humpty Dumpty all have weird truths behind them. Your post is great btw!
Yes, those 3 you mention are worth including in this series :) A lot of these rhymes originate in times when the majority of people didn't know how to read or write, so the only way of passing this information on was in the form of songs ir rhymes. Easily transferable from one generation to the next. From parent to child.
