With standards of today it isn't violent. Can you imagine how violent they would have been perceived in the time that they were written!? Our society today is immersed in much more violence than what those nursery rhymes are colored with. Most rhymes were written (as I understand) to make children behave and to help teach them morals. I don't even think that those nursery rhymes could even touch the kids of today because of the way violence is seen on TV or even on the streets of neighborhoods. |

WOW....it only took what 50 years or so for someone to discover the hidden gore and horror of sweet innocent childhood nursery rhymes. Sh*t, Miss Betsy had a baby and named him Tiny Tim..she put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim. (give me a break..a swimming newborn--uh no)
He drank up all of the water and he ate up all the soap, he tried to eat the bathtub and it wouldn't go down his throat.. (poor baby)
Miss Betsy called the doctor, Miss Betsy called the nurse, and she even called the lady with the alligator purse. (I quess 3 opinions are better than one) |

What's funny is listening to a mother telling her kid the nursery rhyme sing a song of sixpence. It was actually used to recruit pirates. |

Believe this or not the other day i was thinking about the same thing!! Not only the rymes are like that, but some of the songs kids are tought in kindergarten are the same. Just think about Ring around the rosy - that was written in the dark ages to demonstrate how the plague was. Or there is this other song that when translated to English would go like this
Siem bamba mommy's baby siem bamba mommy's baby twist his neck and through him in the ditch, step on his head and then his dead.
It is really violent and then people worry about what children watch on tv when no one is watching. |

I dont think they are violent considering things kids have to deal with now. I am 21 but since I was in 4th grade I had to pray I didnt get robbed walking to and from school. There is some much drugs and violence that I think even young kids are noticing |

We don't allow kids to grow up with those any more. Many of them were based on horrific happenings like "ring-a-round the rosie.
Of course, now they're just pathetic. |

Does seem weird doesn't it? Maybe they mean that bad things happen throughout life and that life will go on because the people eventually recover |

Nobody pushed Humpty off the wall....he fell
We can't help it if Little-Bo-Peep...lost her sheep
Jack fell down...he wasn't pushed
I'm not sure violent is the correct word for this. |

Nursery rhymes are not violent to the point that we allow our chidren to see on TV, or hear on the Radio, or read in Magazines or Newspapers. Not to mention that most of what they see and hear are real stories that they are exposed to more often than movies and television.
They, also, for the most part carry subtle lessons for the little ones that, as they get older, they understand better. |
