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 The classics are the best?!

On a serious note, if you know the context of these nursery rhymes, they aren't exactly child friendly. Ring a Roses is about the Black Death for example.

@missmelanieh @TheBreadmonkey Was once in a play about the plague. Roses of Eyam. Had lost my glasses. Only had prescription sunglasses left. Accidentally left them on after the intermission. Did a funeral scene, carrying a coffin with them on.

Was in Eyam last year. A sobering story of sacrifice for the greater good.
