Off the top of my head, 2 nursery rhymes
Three six nine, the goose drank wine.
The monkey chewed tobacco on the street-car line.
The line broke, the monkey got choked,
And they all went to heaven in a little row boat.
I went to the animal fair,
The birds and the bees were there.
The big baboon, by the light of the moon,
was combing his yellow hair.
The monkey he got drunk
And fell on the elephant's trunk
The elephant sneezed, and fell on his knees
And that was the end of the monk, the monk the monk the monk!
How weird is it that they both are actually limmricks (when you look closely) and that they both involve violence to monkeys? And nonsensical--how does a "street-car line" break? I was pretty sure a street car line is the metal bars that the streetcars drive along. On the other hand, it does give one a pretty healthy skepticism of wine and tobacco.
