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.

You are being a bit unfair to me as I have so many of them that are my favourite.

@Sojourn I'm too tired these days, I worked a lot, but every free moment I use to rest, and I try not to think too much

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!

Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet, eating her curds and whey!
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jumped over the candle stick!
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall!
Jack& Jill went up the hill, to fetch a pail of water.
