yes, i am in a very nostalgic mood right now. and i can't stop thinking about all the old nursery rhymes we used to learn at primary school.
so i was thinking, why not make a thread where people can post their favourites here?

i'll go first.
"there's a worm at the bottom of the garden,
and his name is wiggly woo,
there's a worm at the bottom of the garden,
and all that he can do,
is wiggle all night,
and wiggle all day,
whatever else the people do say,
there's a worm at the bottom of the garden,
and his name is wiggly woo.
and his name is wiggly, wig-wig-wiggly,
wig-wig-wiggly woo!"

Lita2005 I know right! It's like Ring Around the Rosie...they don't let kids do that one anymore either, but THAT one I can understand... i can't. people only learnt it's about the black death after they're too old to be shocked by it. and since everybody learned it from reading horrible histories books, i just don't see the problem...

my mum used to do this thing where she'd pick me up and dangle me upside down and say,
"Under the water, under the sea, who d'you love best, the fishies or me?"
and if i said the fishies she'd keep me upside down, and if i said her, she put me back round the right way. i used to love it, i always said the fishies 4laugh
dunno if that counts as a nursery rhyme or not...

....okay os this isnt a nursery rhyme, but i loved the game Red Rover--I hadn't thought of it in years until comedian Dane Cook referenced it to the grip that a couple has that no longer loves eachother or stay together out of pure hate. "They aren't holding hands--that's rigor mortis setting in...the Red Rover grip..." xd

touch tiddles there's a worm at the bottom of the garden, and his name is wiggly woo... That's a bloody classic. Along with that one about "going down the garden to eat worms"- I suppose they're banning that over health and safety now are they? Lita2005 ....okay os this isnt a nursery rhyme, but i loved the game Red Rover... My primary school banned Red Rover; I think you got sent to the headmaster if caught playing it. I mean, I understand why, but in my 4 years of playing no one got seriously hurt. Although there was this one girl who would spit on her hand- for "super grip"- before grabbing onto yours; that damaged me.

Idk that it is a "nursery rhyme" but Stary's worm one made me think of this saying:
"Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I'm gonna eat some worms"
LOL
and there were was the good ole:
"sticks and stones my break my bones, but words will never hurt me"
