Ring around the rosie (boils/blisters caused by bubonic plague), pocket full of posies (smelling flowers/unguents to keep the smell (vapors) which were thought to spread disease, away). Ashes, ashes..we all fall down. Not sinister, just word-of-mouth tales. Remember, they had no internet, and most were illiterate. What better way to pass on wisdom than with tales and songs?

First, I'm glad you're feeling better. Second, I'd like to request Ring Around The Rosie for the next nursery rhyme. I was watching a documentary on the bubonic plague and it briefly mentioned the "rumored origin" of the rhyme. There were two kinds of pleuge: the kind where your lymph nodes were infected and swelled up causing the signature egg shape lumps, and the kind that infected your lungs and also caused rashes. That second kind is the rumored origin of Ring Around The Rosie. "Ring, a ring of rosies A pocket full of posies A tissue, a tissue We all fall down" Could mean "The pleuge rash is like a ring of roses We carry flowers to ward off miasma This pleuge makes you cough up blood Then you fall down dead" My mom has an alternative, less messed up theory that it's about allergies in a time when people didn't know about allergies, roughly translating too "So many flowers Everyone's carrying flowers Why do flowers make me sick I'm dizzy and I want to stay in bed" I just wanted to share that last part with someone who will appreciate it.

In the origins for the song, I was always told that it was linked to how a tribe (no idea what tribe, or where in the world) would test the worthiness of a baby, to be a part of the community, by leaving it in a tree overnight - if it fell and died = baby weak, and if it fell and lived = baby strong. Pretty gruesome tbh.

Crows Nests were originally a feature in whaling ships and weren't really invented until the beginning of the 1800s. In square-rigged sailing ships there is a platform up on the mast called the "top." It is about 1/3 to 1/4 of the way up and it is where the shrouds supporting the upper mast attach to the main mast. The shrouds are the rigging that supports and holds the mast in place from side to side. Stays, back stays and forestays, hold the mast in place from back to front. The top is made up of the "crosstrees, " spars which sit across the trestle trees, timbers that are bolted to the mast. The top is also called the masthead or the mast top. The lookouts were often sent up to the mast top. The smallest and usually younger sailors were the top-men or reefers who went up to the tops and let down or tied up (reefed) the sails. Since boys were often sent to sea at an early age, some of the reefers could be as young as 14 or 15 year old - any younger and they weren't strong enough to handle a heavy, flapping sail in a gale. Top-men were usually in their mid-teens to early 20s and were the most agile and lightest of the seamen. Ships boys and midshipmen (young men being trained to be officers) were often sent up to the masthead as punishment, sort of the navel version of being sent to the corner. So the idea of a youngster being sent up to "rock in the cradle" is not out of the realm of possibility. Guys being guys in every age and generation, reefers, top men and ships' boys would often swing from the rigging WAY UP in the tops and goof off. This was called "sky larking" and is one of the reasons why something fun is sometimes called "a lark." In warships, men with rifles or muskets were often sent up to the "fighting top" which also might have a small cannon up there. Admiral Lord Nelson was killed by a shot from the fighting top of an enemy ship.

"I love the idea of a bunch of drunken hooligans singing a lullaby together as a form of protest." Well, as forms of protests go, it sure beats burning down the local black-owned Walgreens.
