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, let me share with you three of the most frightening, ill-thought out nursery rhymes some idiots came up with. If I was a betting man (I must be, I’m betting on this story right?) I’d say whoever thought of most of these rhymes was a sadistic piece of shit.
So here goes.
Number one on the chart of scaring the shit out of little children.
Rock A Bye Baby
Rock-a-bye, baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all
Baby is drowsing, cozy and fair
Mother sits near in her rocking chair
Forward and back, the cradle, she swings
And though baby sleeps, he hears what she sings
Rock-a-bye, baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all
Rock-a-bye…
