Ring around the Rosey/Rosary??? Pocket full of Posies/Pose??? | |
| Yep User ID: 58092735  United States05/16/2014 03:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | sorry if I'm being silly, but historically, "ring around the rosey" was the mark of the bubonic plague, and people carried fragrant flowers (posies) in their pockets because they were believed to ward off the miasma (bad smell) of the disease. But it didn't help and they "all fall down" dead anyway. Some towns were depopulated. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48380046 yes u are right--the other comments are nonsence ^^This. The OP is out of his head. Ring Around the Rosy is like the nursery rhyme for Influenza: "I had a little bird. His name was Enza. I opened up the window And in flew Enza!" |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 18998741 United States05/16/2014 06:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | that nursery rhyme was about the Black Plague. the ring around the rosies was the red ring that formed around the open sore. the pocket full of posies was the fact that everyone carried flowers around so that smell of the flowers helped ease stench of death. ashes ashes we all fall down referred to the ash gray color that people would turn shortly before death. and also the ashes of their bodies once they were stacked and burned.
