• Jack and Jill went up the hill on Flickr - Photo Sharing!: To fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after. The origins of this Nursery Rhyme are unclear, but the following is one theory ...... Jack and Jill are the 18th century Louis XVI of France, who was deposed and beheaded (lost his crown), and his Queen, Marie Antoinette (who came tumbling after). The words and lyrics were made more palatable for the nursery by giving it a happy ending.
• Humpty Dumpty ... on Flickr - Photo Sharing!: Humpty Dumpty was apparently an unusually large canon which was mounted on the protective wall of "St. Mary's Wall Church" in Colchester, England. It was intended to protect the Parliamentaria n stronghold of Colchester which was temporarily under the control of the Royalists during the English Civil War ( 1642 - 1649). A shot from a Parliamentary canon succeeded in damaging the wall underneath Humpty Dumpty causing it to fall to the ground. The Royalists - "all the King's men" - attempted to raise Humpty Dumpty on to another part of the wall but even with the help of " all the King's horses" they failed and Colchester fell to the Parliamentaria ns after a siege lasting eleven weeks.
• Hickory Dickory Dock, on Flickr - Photo Sharing!: The mouse ran up the clock. The clock struck one, The mouse ran down! Hickory Dickory Dock. You may be relieved to learn I don't really have much history on this rhyme except that It is said that the rhyme alludes to Richard Cromwell' s one year reign as Lord Protector of England. However, you may not know that in the full version there are in fact verses that go from one o'clock right up to twelve noon!
