Oranges and Lemons"Here comes the candle to light you to bed, here comes the axeman to chop off your head."
This was a legitimate nursery rhyme in a book of them I used to have. I don't think I have it anymore (and I don't remember the name) but...yeah. Who thought that was a good idea, again?
Why do Disney movies feature horrible parental slaughter? Why does Little Red get raped and killed at the end of Red Riding Hood? Because kids have to deal with some real tough shit when they grow up. So why not sneak some deep moral lessons into their fairy tales so they might have a chance at coping with it a little better when happens in the real world?why do we have nursery rhymes and why tell them to kids.
