Half a pound of tuppenny rice
Half a pound of treacle
That's the way the money goes
Pop! goes the Weasel.

Such a fun children’s rhyme, but it’s origins
are in poverty.
In 18th century Cockney slang,
‘weasel and stoat’ meant coat
and ‘pop’ was to pawn.

"The waters of Marcross Well were of medicinal efficacy, especially eye affections. An old rhyme runs thus:

For the itch, the stitch, rheumatic, and the gout,
If the devil isn't in you, this well will take it out."

Next time you hear “Ring a Ring o' Rosie,” grab a beak mask! Some believe the innocent song reflects the 1665 Great Plague of London; rosie being the rash that had an odor they tried to cover up with “a pocket full of posies.” (Img: K Greenaway)

One of the most well known Malay nursery rhymes is Bangau oh Bangau (Stork oh Stork), a cause-and-effect song explaining that the stork is thin ultimately because the snake eats frogs. It also alludes to the ability of frogs to call rain, a common old belief
