Interesting it is... that you have me here thinking about this. :D
The first thing I notice is that we here (at least me and the ones I know) say: "Ring AROUND the Rosie..." etc. Jess of course is reciting these sorts of rhymes now so a couple I hear/see from her:
The itsy bitsy spider.. Ring around the Rosie.. London bridge is falling down.. I guess kids like to fall down.
*I* quickly recalled:
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.. Ladybug, ladybug fly away.. Ding dong bell. Pussy's in the well..
I have NO idea what they mean. Well, except that I knew about Ring around the Rosie & the Black Death thing.
