Shoot And Ladders

Ring-a-round-the-rosies.
Pocket full of posies.
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.

Nursery rhymes are said, verses in my head.
Into my childhood, they're spoon fed.
Hidden violence revealed, darkness that seems real.
Look at the pages that cause all this evil.

One, two - buckle my shoe.
Three, four - shut the door.
Five, six - pick up sticks.
Seven, eight - lay them straight

London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down.
London bridge is falling down my fair lady.

Nursery rhymes are said, verses in my head.
Into my childhood, they're spoon fed.
Hidden violence revealed, darkness that seems real.
Look at the pages that cause all this evil.

Knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone.
This old man came rolling home.

Mary had a little lamb, it's fleece was white as snow.
Baa baa black have you any wool? yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.

Ring-a-round-the-rosies.
Pocket full of posies.
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.

Nursery rhymes are said, verses in my head.
Into my childhood, they're spoon fed.
Hidden violence revealed, darkness that seems real.
