Sadistic Nursery Rhymes

What moronic, sadistic assholes came up with some of this shit?
I’m talking about nursery rhymes supposedly created for children to make them calm, happy and even sleepy. CHILDREN for God’s sake. Tender, giggling, wide-eyed innocent children.
Okay, okay, I’ll take a breath and try to calm my ass down. Maybe you folks have no idea what’s got my knickers in such a bunch this morning. Fair enough…
