Did you catch the previous journal? It really was interesting [according to many who replied back] basically stating that all nursery rhymes we know and love, continue to pass on kids of the modern generation were sometimes hundreds of years ago. And the stories they tell have hidden meanings. A nice media to pass down on to new generations what happened in the past.

It left me with the question of why there were no modern nursery rhymes? Now there's a thought. Hollywood remakes movies and series all the time. Ocean's 11, Longest yard, Charlie's Angels, Mission Impossible...and the music industry recycles, remixes and samples classic tunes as a matter of standard practice. So I got to thinking about some suitable updates for nursery rhymes.

Old Humpty Dumpty is a good place to start. We all take it for granted that Humpty Dumpty was an egg- although I don't recall any fact ever being mentioned in the rhyme unless there was some extra verse I am not aware of. Actually, it's believed that the character in the rhyme was not a person but a type of cannon used in war. Anyway in the rhyme, the unfortunately named Mr Dumpty had his problems in life compounded by his parents' decision to call him Humpty rather than say Jeff - and for his own reason he chose to sit on a wall. Anyway - a modern-flavoured update could go something like this:

Homeboy HD went to the mall
But had no money
So could afford nothing at all
He went looking for things free
Constantly eye-balled by security.
He felt like an egg coz his mind was scrmbled
Thinking:"Why did i come here when my credit card is canceled!?"


I know it lacks the voilent ending of the original - bit i toned it down in case any sensitive readers are upset by the vision of spilled yolk! ;p

What of the story of Georgie Porgie? The compulsive eater who chased girls.' He seemed like such a strange character but strangely not so unlike lots of nowadays. He was was at least very focused on his hobbies. The remix could be:

Georgie Porgie, pizza and coffee,
Burgers, chips and lots of toffee.
He wanted to chase girls, but was overweight and lazy.
So tucked into another plate of pie and gravy.
His taste in all things is X-X-L.
The only high in his life is cholesterol!


What I rather cleverly did is create a medical moral into this sorry tale - however the last two words aren't too rhyming. Depends on how you pronounce it anyways.

This is a challenge for all of you out there. Let's try to make up a whole new book of rhymes that capture the real essence of our life here - and knows in 10 years they may well be singing our rhymes in classrooms all over the region.

A special thanks to ~Calyptra who linked me to the Nursery Rhymes - Lyrics and Origins! page where you can read the rhymes and find out the story behind them. I wanted to know from long back how the nursery rhyme "London Bridge is Falling down" came into making. If you're still not satisfied Wikipedia also has quite a few in it's extensive database.

I'd also like all of you reading this to include *DarkestVirtue in your daily prayers. He's recovering from surgery nicely. But needs all the help he can get. [Hang in there buddy!]

Plus my mad friend =robinism has written an eye opening article on October - International Blindness Awareness Month which is HIGHLY informative. I suggest you dedicate 5 mins of your time there too. Thanks.

Until next Timers, Nursery rhymers. ;) 'Ta!

Last weekend I was searching for something in a pile of past papers. Amongst them were the notes I made during a class of Philosophy. It was quite entertaining and I thought to myself: "Why not share with others what I'd been informed in class." So it's time to update the journal. :)

It is interesting how we are completely blocked away from bad influences', right from the time we are in Kindergarten until High school. Educational institutions focus on the syllabus being taught at school; they regulate activities taking place within the school premises and in general, provide and ideal environment for shaping the child's behavior and personality. But is it really so?

Nursery rhymes, the very first influence on children, have strong political undertones in most cases – a fact not many are aware of. Nursery rhymes of today are the political gossip of the yesteryears. People played with words and formulated a playful way of spreading a political message. The feature of these songs were that they usually had a catchy tune and employed the use of a rhyming scheme which made it easier for people to learn and sing.

The most common sight at a playschool is children forming circles and singing “Ring a ring o’ roses”, which seems to be a harmless child poem when in fact it is not. The poem reads:

“Ring around the rosy
A pocket full of posies
Ashes, Ashes”
We all fall down!


The poem talks about the Bubonic Plague which began in the early 1300s in China, which spread to London and resulted in the death of nearly 1/4th of England’s population. The plague, which initially affected rodents, passed on to people through fleas. The contagious disease spread to other parts of the world through traders who went to China. In Europe, the disease was called ‘The Black Death’ as black patches on the body were symptoms that led to death eventually, The ‘ring od roses’ in the poem referred to red eruptions with white centers, which spread on the entire body. The "Ashes Ashes" in the poem was referred to the bout of sneezes that followed the disease People believed that having a certain flower called ‘ posy’ would prevent one from being afflicted with the disease, hence the line “ pocket full of posies”. The last line, “we all fall down!” is a clear indication to the swift wipe-out of 1/4th of England’s population.

The next most loved poem is undeniably “Jack and Jill”, which has it’s origins in France. The poem reads:

Jack and Jill went up the hill, to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after!


Some historians believe that the poem refers to the execution of Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette in 1783. The phrase “let them eat cake” has been attributed to Marie Antoinette, though some disagree saying that French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau had first mentioned it in his autobiographical book Confessions. The story goes back in time she was Queen and was being informed about the conditions of peasants who had no bread to eat. She replied: "Let them eat cake". Apparent as it sounds, people were not happy with the royal family and were determined to overthrow the Monarchy. Hence, seeds for the French Revolution were sown with continued attempts of fleeing by the King failed. "Jack" and "Jill" are supposed reffrences to the King and Queen respectively. The falling down of Jack refers to his loss of power which led to the fall of the Monarchy, translated into "broke his crown". Jill (the Queen) did not have a choice but to accept the fate of her husband. They were eventually executed.

If Jack and Jill was surprising. Humpty Dumpty goes a level further. Often we come across people who are nicknames 'Humpty Dumpty' if they are overweight but in reality, Humpty Dumpty was not human! The poem reads:

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses, and all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again!


It was in fact a cannon that was used during the English Civil War. The siege of Colchester involved the Royalists and Parliamentarians where the former had already been attacked by the latter. The town of Colchester was protected by a city wall that contained a castle and a number of churches. this boundary wall was used by the Royalists to station their cannon (Humpty Dumpty). Following this, Humpty Dumpty was thrashed to the ground due to the attack by the opposition Parliamentatrian cannon- referred in the poem as "great fall" that Humpty Dumpty had. efforts by the Royalists (King's men) to put Humpty Dumpty back in position were futile and after eleven weeks, the Parliamentarians took over Colchester.

In almost every sphere of life, we experience politics. Indeed, the very first traces of interaction between two people gives rise to politics. Aristotle once said: "man is a social animal"- which can also be translated into man being a political animal. No matter how hard we try to control children's exposure to certain forms of literature or ideas, human society, as it is today, is vulnerable to all kinds of corruption. how far do we run from hidden messages and most likely, these are a drop in the ocean compared to the actual number of hidden messages that poets, cartoonists, animators and others trap in their works. Sometimes ignorance is anything but bliss.
