BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

Ring a Ring o' Roses

Ring around the rosey,

A pocketful of posies.

ashes, ashes.

We all fall down.
 
"The King has sent his daughter,

To fetch a pail of water.

ah-tishoo, ah-tishoo.

We all fall down."


Down at the bottom of the deep blue sea,

How many fishes can you see,

With a one, a two, a three!

The great variety of forms makes it unlikely that the modern form is the most ancient one, and the words on which the interpretation are based are not found in many of the earliest records of the rhyme.
