Some of you might find this topic ridiculous ,but it just came to my mind and I thought I might ask. All of us have read and even recited rhymes in our childhood and maybe even delivered them in front of an audience.Some rhymes have amusing characters whereas choice of words in some others made them catchy and memorable for people of age groups.Some rhymes have deep underlying messages too.As an adult we might have came across those rhymes while teaching some child or even while spending time with them. So my favourite one is Little Miss muffet . You tell yours now.

I was always intrigued and amused by riddles and tall stories and this one was in the first book of poems and rhymes which I ever owned: "I Saw a Peacock, with a fiery tail, I saw a Blazing Comet, drop down hail, I saw a Cloud, with Ivy circled round, I saw a sturdy Oak, creep on the ground, I saw a Pismire, swallow up a Whale, I saw a raging Sea, brim full of Ale, I saw a Venice Glass, Sixteen foot deep, I saw a well, full of mens tears that weep, I saw their eyes, all in a flame of fire, I saw a House, as big as the Moon and higher, I saw the Sun, even in the midst of night, I saw the man, that saw this wondrous sight." A 'pismire' is an old word for an ant. To make sense of the poem, you should replace the first comma in each line (except the last) with a full stop.

Little Jack Horner sat in the corner eating a Christmas pie, he stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum and said what a good boy I am.

Rhymes were ways of passing on news or about some historical event as most people were illiterate back then,. Some rhymes are used as comforters!

But someone has to decipher the true meaning behind the rhyme,otherwise the illiterate people would not know the message.

Why Jill came tumbling after? . These rhymes are among my favourites too but the big spider and Miss muffet in my rhymes book scared me as a child.
