Are all nursery rhymes safe for children?
Mary Mary quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row.
When you read this, it sounds like any other normal poem. Right?
Now read this page.
After reading the above page, I am not sure if I want my daughter to recite such a poem. Not sure how many poems are packaged as nursery poems and actually have a murkier significance.
Sigh!
