Title: Bin Laden Nursery Rhyme? Post by: Olivia Bauer on May 05, 2011, 07:52:54 AM This is just f**ked up. It's poem some mother reads to her kids at night when they ask why we celebrate Bin Laden's death. This i not something you tell a kid.
"Bin Laden was a bad man, he hurt many people, don't ask me why our soldiers went out and shot him in the head and now that's dead, close your eyes and go to bed." I thought "Ten Little Indians" was screwed up. Title: Re: Bin Laden Nursery Rhyme? Post by: Newt on May 05, 2011, 09:01:03 AM That's nothing new:
Ma, abinoojiiyens Hush, little baby nibaan go to sleep; gego mawiken do not cry, gemaa makwa or the naked bear giga-amog. will eat you. - Ojibwa lullaby We had a Jamaican housekeeper for a while who would put my brother to bed with stories of hand-sized spiders who eat children who won't go to sleep. To this day he is arachnophobic. Title: Re: Bin Laden Nursery Rhyme? Post by: Trevor on May 05, 2011, 09:10:06 AM Ohhh......I think I need some surgeons.....

Rockabye, Baby In the treetop. When the wind blows, The cradle will rock. When the bough breaks The cradle will fall. And down will come baby, Cradle and all. Splat. My grandmother used to sing us this surrealist nightmare: Three six nine Goose drank wine Monkey sittin' on the street car line. The line broke The monkey got choked And they all went to Heaven In a little row boat. Title: Re: Bin Laden Nursery Rhyme? Post by: AndyC on May 05, 2011, 11:29:36 AM Yeah, nursery rhymes and fairy tales used to be pretty morbid, as was the classic children's bedtime prayer that ended:
"If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take." That scared the hell out of me as a kid. I notice somebody has since changed that to something about guarding through the night until the morning light. I don't generally agree with sanitizing a classic, but this is an exception I'll gladly make. Title: Re: Bin Laden Nursery Rhyme?

Nice to be reminded on a nightly basis that you might not make it to morning. Title: Re: Bin Laden Nursery Rhyme? Post by: Criswell on May 06, 2011, 10:13:22 PM This is just f**ked up.
