Dark rhymes

As I began to recall my childhood nursery rhymes, I realized with some amusement that most are dark & morbid :D Well, here's the proof. The Rock-a-bye baby fell, Jack broke his head, Jill rolled down the hill (and probably broke hers as well), Little Miss Muffet got spooked by a spider, Humpty Dumpty is a runny mess and the 3 blind mice became '3 blind tail-less mice'.

If Disney was to have his way, the Rock-a-bye baby would dream about milk-land, Jack & Jill would have gotten their pail of water and ice cream at the bottom of that hill, Little Miss Muffet would have enjoyed her curd & whey without any creepy crawlies, Humpty Dumpty would have been a stuntman and survived the great fall and the 3 blind mice would have been pets of the farmer's wife ;) And they would all live happily ever after.

ps. just in case anyone is out of touch with their inner child...

Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the cradle rocks, the baby will fall
Down come the baby, cradle and all!

Jack & Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down & broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the King's men and all the King's horses,
Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
Eating her curd & whey
Along came a spider & sat down beside her
And scared Little Miss Muffet away!

Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run, see how they run
They all run after the farmer's wife
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife
Have you ever seen such a thing in all your life?
Such as the three blind mice, three blind mice
