...some rhymes did come from creepy stuff..

like the black plague!...ring a ring a rosy ....

there was so much death and stink and death!

bubonic plague presented itself with inflamed circular lumps on the skin.
they smelled bad too when they oozed!..(rings of rosy colour)

....because of limited medical understanding ..people believed that it was transmitted by smelling the ooze!....so they kept bunches of flowers and carried them where they went....(pocket full of posies)

...the most infected people coughed up blood and those nearby became infected too....sneeze (a tissue a tissue..we all fall down)
