Somewhere In The Ether…

Following on from the thread regarding the somewhat disturbing, ‘There was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly.’ - Good folks, are there any poems and Nursery Rhymes that scared you as a child?

I’ll put forward, the utterly sinister, ‘Wee Willie Winkie’ here which scared the absolute hell out of me!

Here’s another short poem/song which scared me as a nipper: Walter De La Mere’s, ‘Someone.’

It’s not so much the lyrics, but the way in which it was sung at my school.

Creepy as fuck!

Mother the Wardrobe is Full of Infantrymen by Roger Mcgough. For a kid already in fear of a nuclear war it wasn't the best choice!

Humpty Dumpty always used to distress me as a child to.

The fact that he was irreparably damaged upset me no end.

…I then dipped my soldier into my soft boiled egg and completely forgot about Humpty’s suffering.
