Ring around the Roses
A pocket full of Posies
etc.
Obviously a reference to the plague - yes ?
I'm having trouble finding a definitive source to reference and back this up. There seem to be as many unreliable sites that pish-posh the idea as unreliable ones that support it.
Anyone here have any insight on this (and other nursery rhymes), or information on where I can track down useful information on the matter ?
I'll hang up and listen to your response.
