Nursery Rhyme Nightmares

 

A few days ago,
I overheard the bedtime story being lovingly read to the 3 little ones.
I had a giggle to myself.



It went like this
There was a little man,
And he had a little gun,
And his bullets were made of
lead, lead, lead;
He went to the brook,
And saw a little duck,
And shot it through the
head, head, head.



The book belongs to Peter,
from his younger days.



Things have changed.
Does the lamb in the top pic look like
it is having the life squeezed out of it
by that lovely little girl,
or is that just my imagination?

  1. I want that book!!!! I cant stand policitally correct, it would be published these days as
    There was a little PERSON and the duck would have been caught in FRIENDLY FIRE.
