Some of you might find this topic ridiculous ,but it just came to my mind and I thought I might ask. All of us have read and even recited rhymes in our childhood and maybe even delivered them in front of an audience.Some rhymes have amusing characters whereas choice of words in some others made them catchy and memorable for people of age groups.Some rhymes have deep underlying messages too.As an adult we might have came across those rhymes while teaching some child or even while spending time with them.
So my favourite one is Little Miss muffet . You tell yours now.

You are being a bit unfair to me as I have so many of them that are my favourite.

I am like you, with so many. Some I suppose most have not heard of.

We used to play London Bridge is falling down. Two people held hands to form a sort of bridge while everyone sang London Bridge is Falling Down. The rest walked under the bridge one at a time and sometimes the bridge would fall down and capture someone. Then everyone would sing take a key and lock him/her up, my fair lady or my fair young man. It was stupid but fun.

Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet, eating her curds and whey!
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jumped over the candle stick!
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall!
Jack& Jill went up the hill, to fetch a pail of water.

@Sojourn I'm too tired these days, I worked a lot, but every free moment I use to rest, and I try not to think too much
