The truth about nursery rhymes

Does it make sense ?

              The truth about nursery rhymes

Nursery rhymes my mother read,

When I was young and they were cool,

Now I'm older though not to say wiser,

The beloved things make no sense.

 

It sounds so suspicious ,

That little Jack horner is in the corner ,

Sticking his thumb in a pie,

And pulling out a cherry....I mean plum.

 

What the hell is an egg doing on a wall?

He must be hard boiled or else all the kings horses,

Seriously they thought the horses were the best choice?

And all the kings men would be making a Humpty Dumpty omelette.

 

Peter ,peter the pumpkin eater ,

Had a wife and could not keep her,

So he called his pumpkin lawyer

And what do you know she got the shell and he got the car.

 

It seems to me that Jack falling and breaking his crown,

Encourages the question"did he fall or was he pushed?"

I can vouch for many a times .

Having an uncontrollable urge to push my Jack down the hill.

i think Jack was pushed..

there was more than met the eye in those nursery rhymes...but we don't get the bad stuff when we are young...our folks want us to just imagine happy ever after, not real life.

I appreciate your thoughts on nursery rhymes.
Perhaps same thought processes were experienced by many of us.
I used to sing or recite such rhymes to children and they appeared to enjoy the rhymes.
Perhaps meaning was not important to them at their age.
Similar results were observed while children were told fables.
They enjoyed them however weird the fables were.
Perhaps children desire attention than and companion rather than real thing.
Thank you for sharing the mind blowing thoughts.
