RING AROUND THE ROSIE


“Ring around the Rosie, A pocketful of posies.
Ashes, ashes, We all fall down.”
Seriously ? These are the lyrics ? And for all my childhood, I thought it was
“Ringa Ringa roses, pocket fulla pozez,
Hushaa Bushaa, we all fall down”
My bad. And that is not all. Other fact that I didn’t know about this poem is that it has an ominous hidden origin and this poem is actually about black plague!! When people got the plague they had a rash where they were bitten by the fleas that had a red mark with a red ring around it. Now Who would have thought, eh?
