Why are there no new nursery rhymes? Who decided that? A moratorium and we're just stuck with ring a ring a roses and oranges and lemons said the bells of Saint Clements. I could make up new nursery rhymes. Perhaps this is where I make my fortune. Kids rhymes about really really awful things. Literally every thought I've just had is way too bad to post here. I am very very sorry for my brain. What is a newish lighthearted terribly tragedy? Perhaps there being too many potholes in the UK? What rhymes with potholes (apart from plot holes)? Profiteroles?
Hundreds of hairy moles like to jump out of potholes. When will they fix 'em, asked the people of Brixham.
I think I'm really onto something here.
Edit - OK people have pointed out there are loads and I am wrong. Stop going on about it.
@TheBreadmonkey have you heard of “a tooty tah”? I promise this is a thing, my kids started doing the dance and singing it in Minnesota about ten years ago and my husband and I were shocked. It is the newest sounding nursery rhyme I’ve heard.
What in the hell did I just watch?
@TheBreadmonkey i haven’t seen the video but when my children performed it, I thought it was a stylized fart motion.
You’re welcome?
@TheBreadmonkey also new nursery rhymes exist we just haven’t accepted them as such. Because it feels sort of slimy to put Baby Shark in the same category as ring around the rosy. But in terms of being viral I think it fits
@3janeTA @TheBreadmonkey
Tell me "i lik the bred" is not a new nursery rhyme.

OMG my daughter’s (she’s now 21) preschool class used to do this.
