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.
What is the history of the nursery rhyme London Bridge is Falling Down?
There have been a number of different London Bridges over the past 2000 years. The one to which the nursery rhyme refers is the one started by engineer John Rennie in 1825 and finished in 1831. The design was superior, containing only five high arches, and constructed from strong Dartmoor granite. It was opened by King William the fourth in 1831. When it became necessary to widen the bridge some 70 years later, this process weakened the bridge's foundations to the point where it began sinking an inch every eight years. In 1968, it was auctioned and sold for $2,460,000 to Robert McCulloch who moved it to Havasu City, Arizona, where it was rebuilt brick by brick, and finally opened and dedicated on 10 October 1971.

How does the daisy daisy nursery rhyme go?
There is a flower
Within my heart,
Daisy, Daisy!
Planted one day
By a glancing dart,
Planted by Daisy Bell!
Whether she loves me
Or loves me not,
Sometimes it's hard to tell;
Yet I am longing to share the lot -
Of beautiful Daisy Bell!
Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer do!
I'm half crazy,
All for the love of you!
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle made for two.
We will go 'tandem'
As man and wife,
Daisy, Daisy!
'Peddling' away
Down the road of life,
I and my Daisy Bell!
When the road's dark
We can both despise
P'licemen and 'lamps' as well;
There are 'bright lights'
In the dazzling eyes
Of beautiful Daisy Bell!
Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer do!
I'm half crazy,
All for the love of you!
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle made for two.
I will stand by you
In 'wheel' or woe,
Daisy, Daisy!
You'll be the bell(e)
Which I'll ring you know!
Sweet little Daisy Bell!
You'll take the 'lead'
In each 'trip' we take,
Then if I don't do well,
I will permit you to
Use the brake,
My beautiful Daisy Bell!

Where did the wise old owl live nursery rhyme?
The wise old owl in the famous nursery rhyme 'A Wise Old Owl' lives in an oak tree.

What is the meaning to the rhyme jack and Jill?
Answer:
This is how my brother explained it to me.
"Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water." Duh. Obviously, they went for a pail of water.
"Jack fell down, broke his crown." Jill killed Jack. Like, broke his head forcefully.
"And Jill came tumbling after." She was then killed on trial for killing Jack,
Additional answer:
However the rhymme continues:
"To old Dame Trot, who bandaged his knot.
With vinegar and brown paper."
Following on the logic, Dame Trot buried Jack. (Knot means head).
However why would you go up a hill to get water? More likely it was a couple who got into trouble-the crown was the representation.
Yet another answer:"Crown" is "head", but Jack's fall is what broke Jack's head. Jill is innocent! And she probably tripped over whatever he tripped on, which is why she came tumbling after. "Knot" is not Jack's head, but a lump. (We still say that today.) So Dame Trot fixed Jack's head, probably using the vinegar to clean the wound (ouch!) and the brown paper to tie it up, just as one wraps fish & chips in newspaper.

What is the name of the story or nursery rhyme that has an old woman who needs to get her pig home?
Not really a rhyme but a sort of acrostic or acronym based on the word-Geography. George Edwards Old Grandmother Rode A Pig Home Yesterday- hence the word geography spelled out. author unknown. there was a comic song about-The Pig in The Parlor- not probably related, if you have pigs in your living room- someone shuld call the ASPCA or Board of Health! You know they go to the toilet. as Eva Gabor said, (Arnolt did Numba Two on the stage!-in reference to Green Acres stunts.
They were two kids who went up a hill to get a pail of water from the well...at the top of the hill. The poem states that Jack fell down and broke his crown, which could be inferred in many ways. While a crown could rather gruesomely mean a head, it could also refer to your teeth.
Name of fox in nursery ryhmns?

Why do we all pat the bone from the nursery rhyme the farmers in his den?
Patting the bone must have been a superstition like Knocking on Wood. Possibly a fossil like those cow skulls you find in the West. Touching a religious relic was a spiritual thing, cross my heart... and so on. That's my guess. I think this was edited out of later versions - I can't recall this verse, the Nurse takes the Child, sure, but patting the bone sounds religious relic-like and it may then have been edited out.
As far as I'm aware patting the bone has never been edited out, everyone I asked remembered that line from the rhyme best. I think the answer to why do we pat the bone is that we just do.
The farmer's in his den, the farmer's in his den.
Ee-i, ee-i, the farmer's in his den.
The farmer wants a wife, the farmers wants a wife.
Ee-i, ee-i, the farmer wants a wife.
The wife wants a child, the wife wants a child.
Ee-i, ee-i, the wife wants a child.
The child wants a nurse, the child wants a nurse.
Ee-i, ee-i, the child wants a nurse.
The nurse wants a dog, the nurse wants a dog.
Ee-i, ee-i, the nurse wants a dog.
The dog wants a bone, the dog wants a bone.
Ee-i, ee-i, the dog wants a bone.
We all pat the bone, we all pat the bone.
Ee-i, ee-i, we all pat the bone.
