nursery rhymes?
I have a few questions about some nursery rhymes.
1) Who said Humpty Dumpty was an egg? He is always portrayed as an egg but nowhere in the story does it say he was an egg...he was just breakable.
2) Tied to the above question. If Humpty Dumpty was an egg...what was he doing on a wall?
3) Also, Why does it say that "all the kings horses and all the kings men tried to put Humpty together again"...I understand the men part but how would ha horse help put an egg back together.
4)Pop goes the weasel. Part of the lyrics say "all around the cobblers bench the monkey chased the weasel, the preacher kissed the cobbler's wife, pop goes the weasel" So even back when this song was made they were teacher kids to be unfaithful through nursery rhymes? Just though provoking questions...I would love to hear feedback
