Thread Name: Mention of Death in Children's Rhymes
Subject: RE: Mention of Death in Children's Rhymes
Here's another example of naughty children's rhymes that at least tangentially mentionS death:

FUDGE FUDGE, CALL THE JUDGE
Hey goils! how about ...

Fudge fudge
Call the judge,
Mama's got a brand new baby.
Wrap it up in tissue paper
send it down the escalator,
First floor-stop!
Second floor miss!
Third floor turn around
Fourth floor touch the ground,
Fifth floor,
Get out of town!

This is a jump rope rhyme in which the jumpers appear to not be happy about a new addition to the family.
