What is the truth behind the Rhyme Ring a Ring of Roses
Has it got a sinister meaning.???
:ohmy:

it said that this the meaning:

\"Ring a Ring O' Roses\" is said to be a macabre parody on the horrors of the Great Plague. One of the first signs of the plague was a ring of rose-coloured spots, and the protection against this terrible disease was, in popular belief, a posy of herbs. Sneezing was taken as a sure sign that you were about to die of it, and the last line \"We all fall down\" omits the word, \"dead\"!

but its not been told to be a myth and it repersents something else and i cant remember what ..... i think these a article at college about all different nursery songs and their means but i cant remember all the songs it says about. will have a look and let u no next time am in if u want

I agree with cheeky It has to do with the plague

Yes that's spot on you both receive gold stars:lol:

How about......The Grand Old Duke of York ????

Ok why did he march his men to the top of the hill,then march them down again.
