used to play hopscotch
one of the songs went -
ring a ring of roses a pocket full of poses - ' I think relates to the great plague of London in the 18th century.
another one which bemuses me -
'some talk of Alexandrer and some of Hercules
of Hector and Lysander and such great men of these
but of all the men there ever was
there's none that can compare
with a oh and a ah and ee and haa
as the -------------???

oh the grand old Duke of York he had ten thousand men
he marched them up to the top of the hill and he marched them down again
and when they were up they were up -----------------------

(nursery rhymes got us talking - and thinking ??)
