I just finished listening to nat's nursery rhymes cd in my car, quite relaxing i must say, but i come to the same conclusion as gary, nursery rhymes are inherently nasty. here's why?

little miss muffet
here you have a perfect example of a little miss minding her own biz, having had a bz day, she sat down for a meal, and the arachnid just had to come mess things up, didn't it?

Rock-a-bye baby
now, which kiasu Singaporean mum would willingly put the cradle up on a tree? first of all, in Singapore, trees are grown mighty high, would need a freaking ladder just to climb up. second of all, if i had to balance a baby in a cradle as well, think i'll be the one falling off. thirdly, if i wanted the baby to have some breeze, you know what i would do, switch on the air-con!

Sing a song of sixpence
this one doesn't really make sense, if you baked four and twenty blackbirds in a pie, birds would have been cooked by the time you were done, they sure ain't gonna sing no song when u open up the pie. next, wat kind of class conscious bird is that, choosing only to swoop down and peck the maid when he's got free choice to have a go at the king and queen too. after all, if it ain't dead after the baking, i assume the bird's flying ard the castle, right? haha

i've got a lot more interesting ones, will update along the way. enjoy. but jokes aside though, i kinda enjoy listening to them, even more than baby nat i think :)
