One of the most popular childhood nursery rhymes is "Ring Around the Rosies." Well, it wasn't really meant to be a child's song. Somewhere in history, people misinterpreted it, and little girls started singing it, unaware of the real meaning. Today, I will explain to you what it truly points too, and that it's rather creepy.
NOTE: This might ruin your childhood. Just saying. (insert evil laugh audio here)
So, you see, my friend, this really is one heck of a creepy song. If you search "Ring Around the Rosies" on the Internet, it'll show you some deathly pictures. And there will be a picture of some freak in a robe with a mask that looks like a bird's skull. Say the nursery to yourself after reading the contents above, and NOW how do you picture it? I used to imagine three little girls dancing in a ring in a field of posies. NOT ANY MORE.

THE TRUTH OF "RING AROUND THE ROSIES"
Long, long ago, there was an epidemic taking place in Europe. People thought it was the end of the world. So many people died that there was no more room to put the bodies, so they laid them out in five-foot piles in the streets. Pope Clement VIII even ordered they be thrown into the river. It was disgusting. Body on top of body, contaminating the water; the terrible stench in the town squares; people locking themselves in houses, but only trapping the disease inside. This sickness nearly wiped out humankind. It killed over 25 million people. It was the Bubonic Plague.
Apparently, there were poems and little limerics made up to explain that event of so many deaths.. One of those is "Ring Around the Rosies." Not many people know this, but the whole nursery is about sadness and death. It's extremely creepy. Here's what it all means:
First Line (Ring around the rosies): At funerals, people say the rosary, which is where you "ring around" the necklace and say the prayers.
Second Line (Pocket full of posies): Often, when people went to funerals back then, you usually carried posies, which are flowers, in your pocket.
Third Line (Ashes, ashes,): As in "dust to dust, ashes to ashes."
Fourth Line (We all fall down): When it says we all fall down, it means we all die.
