@redwellies... Great post... So many of these nursery rhymes are morbid... the only one that seems happy and bright is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Thank you! I think you may be right lol... However, I do like the parody of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" that is recited by the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".

Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you're at!
Up above the world you fly,
Like a tea tray in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you're at!

Come back on Thursday for the next one :)
