No, "Ring Around the Rosie" is a nursery rhyme that dates back to the late 19th century. The theory that it originated as a result of the Black Plague is considered a myth and not supported by historical evidence.
Ring around the roisy was invented hundreds of years ago. It came from the deadly epidemic Black Plague, the worst disease to spread the earth in man kind."Ring around the roisy" comes from...if you had the Plague, you would get a ring around your neck, this meant you will die."Pocket full of poises" means....people carried flowers with them and sniffed the flowers, thinking it would prevent them from getting the Plague."Ashes ashes" means...if you had the Plague and you died, the city would burn your body, and the ashes would blow everywhere."We all fall down" means.......everyone died and fell.When the Plague was spreading the children played this game, because they knew they would pariish.

Ring around the rosie. --------------------------------------------- Ring a Ring o' Roses Many have associated this poem with the Great Plague of London in 1665, or with earlier outbreaks of bubonic plague in England. However please NOTE, folklore scholars regard the theory as baseless.
ring-a-ring of roses, a pocketful of posies, a-tishoo, a-tishoo, we all fall down. Sweet scented flowers were thought to ward off diseases like plague, so folk carried bunches (posies) of them to sniff as they walked. One of the symptoms of plague is sneezing. Then, of course, sick people fell down.
The nursery rhyme "Ring Around the Rosies" or alternately called "Ring a Ring o' Roses," is not about a specific year. It is purported to be about a disease called the plague, which was around for many years during the Middle Ages, but this explanation has been more recently thought to be mistaken.
