I think the concept of ring around the rosey being about the black death in the 16th century is appalling. How could such a terrible thing that called so many innocent people be turned into a sweet nursey rhyme for little kids to jump around and sing too. They are representing a song of death. Why and how could people allow this song of death be changed into a kids song? would you want your kids falling down on the ground when it means they drop dead? Maybe im wrong but this is my opinion the song should not be allowed to be written in childrens books, it should be in history books instead!
