Old mother Hubbard,
Went to the cupboard
To get her poor doggy a bone.
But when she bent over,
The dog took her over,
And gave her a bone of his own

Because they are for kids & kids are stupid.

How come loads of nursery rhymes have the same sound?
Baa baa black sheep
Twinkle twinkle
The alphabet

And loads more too. They all sound the exact same!

Mary had a little lamb.
Its fleece was white and wispy.
Then the poor fella caught foot & mouth
so now its black and crispy.

As for the old women

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do;

Welfare sponge, single mother, rabble, rabble :mad:;)

Jack and Jill went up the hill
So Jack could lick Jill's fanny
He got a shock and a mouthful of cock
'Cos Jill was a pre-op tranny.

It's to crush children's beautiful memories when they become adults. It's the same reason we tell them we love them, and that Santey is real.

why did Jack+Jill go up the hill

Two individuals proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic
protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement
of a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact
size of which was unspecified.

'One member of the team precipitously descended, sustaining severe
damage to the upper cranial portion of his anatomical structure;
subsequently, the second member of the team performed
self-rotational translation, orientated in the same direction taken by the
first team member.

I could be wrong but I remember hearing it's got something to do singers learning the notes of the major scale in music.

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe,
She had so many children,
Her uterus fell out.

What?

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty was a big egg,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty's shell back together again

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
Jill forgot to take the pill and now they have a daughter

Finglas version was :

She had so many children,
Her g** fell off

Sorry, I just wanted to make it look a bit more realistic.

I'm still mad about all my horses and men trying to fix a bloody egg, cut me some slack!
