Suffer the Children(Part One)

You ring me around the rosie
because London bridge
was falling down
filled your pockets with posies
because he was coming to town
You put me in the tree top
and there I await the wind
Husha Husha Husha
I was just a kid

Twinkle twinkle little star 
Mary had a little lamb
it was raining and pouring
Not to mention Michael 
had to row the boar ashore
Husha Husha Husha
I never said a word
even though mummy didn't buy me 
a mocking bird

Now there's an elephant
playing in the spider web
I pass a note to my friend
and hope you read it to the class
we all want you to read it
the sky was falling
and we all laughed.
