This song is okay if you don't tell children about what it really means, about the black plague. This is explained below:
Ring around the Rosie- everybody is okay, for now.
Pockets full of posie- full of terrible deceases and germs and sicknesses
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down- it is spread in the air like smoke or ashes and people get it from breathing and fall dead.
Daisies, daisies, we all get up- a magical ending that never happens it was added by a child because they didn't fell it was right to stay on the ground. It never happened but was good for children to imagine.

∙ 13y agoRing Around The Rosy was made around the time of the black death. When you had the sickness, your flesh was rotting while you were alive. So, when you got it, you got big bumps on your skin called rosies. There were rings of brown around the rosie. Ashes, Ashes we all fall down means they all die because of it.

∙ 12y agowow, second one i have to improve. Ok, the song ring around the roses (ro-sees) was originated in the middle ages when the plague also known as the burbonic plague and black death hit. In the song the line ring around the roses, means they are like pleading to god to stop punishing them, patch of full of posies, is a type of flower i think they put in their pockets, they they believed that would stop them from getting the plague, but they were wrong......it was the rats, then when they yell ashes ashes, it is because since there were so many dead bodies, they could not dispose of them all, in terms of graves, so they eventually they decomposed into ash, and then we all fall down, means we all die. so it means we are pleading to god, flowers that protect us in our pockets, all bodies turn into ash, then we all die. so i really dont know why that turned out to be a happy kiddie song, but it really was a song for the plague. I got this from my social studies teacher that likes to joke around. *cough* Mr. Severa

Is Ring Around the Rosies about pirates?
No. It is widely believed that Ring Around the Rosies is about the bubonic plague. However, as there is no evidence to support this idea, it is probably untrue. The children during the time of the bubonic plague sung this song because when they started sneezing they fell down and died. They didn't have the same medicines as we do now so they just died when they caught a cold. That is why they say atishoo atishoo we all fall down. The children made this up because they needed some form of entertainment.
Ring orown the rosies pocit folle poseys ashiashi you all foll dawn?
It seems like you are referencing the nursery rhyme "Ring Around the Rosie." It describes the symptoms and progression of the bubonic plague. "Ring around the rosie" refers to the rash that would appear on the skin, "pocket full of posies" refers to carrying flowers to mask the smell of death, and "ashes, ashes" symbolize the burning of bodies. It's a dark interpretation of a seemingly innocent children's rhyme.
