Old King Cole

I can't believe I had this post ready last Monday, and I forgot to post it! XD Well here it is a week late. :)

Next on our nursery rhyme tour is another old favorite of mine: Old King Cole. And while most cartoons of my youth showed the King smoking a pipe, most likely the pipe in question was actually a musical instrument. Enjoy!

Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he;
He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl
And he called for his fiddlers three.

Nursery Rhymes

Lately I've been singing nursery rhymes to my kids at bedtime. It occurred to me that nursery rhymes would make a good series of treasuries. So, that's what I'm going to do. For the next few weeks I'm going to feature a different nursery rhyme each week. This week is one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy it! :)

Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,
To see a fine lady upon a white horse;
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
And she shall have music wherever she goes.

Listen my children and you shall hear...

Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

It's been 235 years since Paul Revere took his famous ride through Massachusetts to warn the colonists that the British were coming! Two lanterns were lit in the Old North Church in Boston, to warn that the British were coming by sea. And he rode through the night to Concord to warn the men there to be ready!

You can read the whole poem here, and if you never have, you should. And while it is not historically accurate it is a really good read. Enjoy! :)
