DID YOU KNOW RING AROUND THE ROSIE; IS A SONG ABOUT THE BLACK PLAGUE? RINGS FORMED AROUND A ROSEY CENTER. POCKETS FULL OF FLOWERS COVERED THE SMELL OF DEATH. THERE WERE SO MANY DEAD THEY HAD TO CREMATE THEM. IF YOU CAUGHT THE BLACK PLAGUE IT WAS ALMOST ALWAYS FATAL. RING-A-ROUND THE ROSIE,
A POCKET FULL OF POSIES,
ASHES! ASHES!
WE ALL FALL DOWN.
