No, but it's ABOUT a disease. It's about the black plague.
Ring around the rosies
-One of the first signs of the disease was a red bump,known as a rosy,surrounded by a red ring
Pocket full of posies
-The piles of dead bodies had a stench people COULD NOT BEAR, plus they were growing every day,so people carried little bags of nice smelling herbs,put them in their own pockets,and sprinkled them over the dead.
Ashes, ashes
-People don't say ACHOO when they sneeze. They say ASHES. Try it. It also refers to cremation because people were afraid the dead would turn into vampires or Zombies, and it got rid of them for good.
We all fall down
-We all fall down and die.

"Ring Around the Rosies" is often associated with the Bubonic Plague, although there is debate on whether this connection is accurate. The lyrics are said to describe symptoms and behaviors associated with the illness.

∙ 14y agoIt is widely believed that the nursery rhyme 'Ring Around the Rosy' refers to the bubonic plague which was a horrible disease spread in the mid 1300s and again in the 1600s.
The rosy ring was thought to be a rash associated with the illness; "a pocket full of posies" was supposed to ward off the disease; "ashes-ashes" is thought to either refer to the ashes of the victims after they were cremated or it might be a corruption of "atishoo, atishoo", when the illness caused sneezing, and "all fall down" is supposed to be the victims of the plague dropping down dead...a pretty grim little nursery rhyme.
However as there is no evidence to support these claims, they are probably untrue.

∙ 14y agoThe Bubonic Plague inspired the nursery rhyme "Ring Around the Rosie."
Ring around the rosie, packet full of posie
Ashes, Ashes, we all fall down.
There was a red ring that would form around the pustules caused by the Bubonic, or Black Plague. Before people realized the disease was spread through unsanitary conditions, many people believed that the sickness was due to a poisonous gas. Therefore, it was common practice to carry different herbs and spices in a handkerchief and hold it over your nose when you went outside. Hence the "pocket full of posie" line. "Ashes, ashes" refers to all the people who had to be cremated, because there were too many bodies and not enough resources to bury all of the dead.

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.

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.
