	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Language (Ring Around the Rosie) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		For the "plague" explanation of "Ring Around the Rosie" to be true, we have to believe that children were reciting this nursery rhyme continuously for over five centuries, yet not one person in that five hundred year span found it popular enough to merit writing it down.

		It is part of our folklore that Christmas derives from "old pagan festivals." When it is suggested that some of our commonest nursery rhymes have older meanings that have been lost for centuries, the suggestion resonates with the knowledge of the antiquity and it seems quite believable.

	Why Nursery Rhymes?
		Further, the natural rhythm and meter of nursery rhymes actually lend themselves to being read, and in particular out loud.
		Rhyme and verse are also much easier for a child to remember (hence their comfort level), and what's more they lend themselves to being read aloud from parent to child (and hopefully at a certain point from child to parent).
		A lot of the traditional rhymes, such as 'Jack and Jill' and 'Humpty Dumpty,' were repetitious and allowed us to memorize basic structures and patterns in the English language, then put it together.
