MOL MOL MOL OMCs there is no 'planing some things.
There was a song by Kenny Rogers when Sis of Madi was a kitten
He said: 4 hungry children, SHE heard: 400 hundred children
I could never convince her that it was 4 hungry...she always asked if I new anyone who had 400 children.
We still laugh about that today.

PS I'm working on a quilt w/butttttttttoons. More to come
'knew anyone', not 'new anyone'....
Uhoh that was not good.
We hope everyone was alright!
No explaining humans...

MOL! That song is supposed to help a baby sleep, never made any darn sense to me.
I don't think I'd call Rocky a baby!
I thought it was 400 children for a long time and I wasn't even a kitten!
That nursery rhyme used to puzzle me too.
It's about time someone got on this case! YOU Tabbies are going to bust this racket wide open! No more babies in the tree top afraid for life and limb! Um, Dai$y, while they are busy bringing this matter to the pole-lease...the jetway in about 20??
Those are very good questions. I sure hope you can find the answers and put a stop to this. XO
Nursery rhymes are like that, no one understands them any more, everyone was talking in code. There's no telling what the code was on this one.
Good point! Who put that baby in its cradle up in a tree??? Child endangerment, for sure...
This has seemed to be terrible parenting for a long time. What an awful song. I know you will bring justice to all
I'm STILL laughing. Personally, I think you should call Child Protective Services.
Oh Oh!! What have we all been teaching to our wee ones??!
Maybe we need to change the words to be more gentle and less dangerous...we are changing all kinds of thing these days to suit the tastes of all kinds...but whatever, your investigative team will get on it and figure it out! Since no one else has:)
Gee! That is true when you think about the lyrica!!
Makes that "lullaby" seem more ominous :o
Some humans write weird stuff...
Purrs, Julie
Ha. Those tabbies are always thinking.
The biped hasn't thought of that in years, but you're right, who would do that anyway? A lot of those old rhymes and children's stories were ghastly from our modern perspective, all toned down and revised now. (Thinking the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales, not as we know them but as they were written.)
Humans definitely write weird stuff, as others have posted!
Nursery rhymes are fun and some think the little ditties are about historical happenings like "Ring Around the Rosie" is about the Black Death. Possible origins for "Rock A Bye" are the death of the heir to King James II of England. Also an allegory of people reaching above their station as in "pride goes before a fall." You can check out these and other possible origins for this ditty HERE And then again, a banana is just a banana 😺
If you think that's crazy, check out "Ring around the Rosie."
OMG I can't believe we think the same way!! I have ALWAYS thought that about that song! I am DYING LAUGHING!!
MOL!!!! Although the idea of a baby being shoved into a tree and then careening down to earth is horrible we can't stop laughing at your commentary. You have a good point! Humans, so hard to figure them out sometimes!
Purrs & Head Bonks,

And London Bridge is falling down! Singing that today you would be jailed for being a terrorist.
We agrees with you guys! That rhyme scared the heck out of our Mom when she was a kitten! She would cry and cry! We are so furry happy that you guys brings the horror of this to the attention of the WORLD!!! Have a marvellously Happy Day!
I am gweatly twamatized by dis poem. I may nebber sleeps again for fears my Momma gonna put me in a twee and rock me wif a lully-bye. What the Fwiskies is wong wif hoomons, especially back in the Dark Ages. I think I now know why they were dark, and it has nuffin to do wif da sun going down. Keep yoor eyes open, Tabbies, even at night. Love, Dori
Agree kitties! That is one wacky song. Beans are just plain weird.
Perhaps something was lost in translation, like listening to Shakespeare and wondering why all the weird language!
Everyone knows the words but I think like most, I never thought about what the words "MEAN" and just accepted the song as written.
I'm sure the baby was all right, guys; they made them tougher in the past. He probably grew up, married, had children - and put them on tree-tops, too.
It's so funny when you stop to think about common songs for kids - if you really think about the words, they'd never be sung by kids!
Seriously! Who would think to do that in the first place?
What the? We never stopped and thought about it and now we know that you all have such intelligence and huge minds and thinking and all that stuff. So what the heck anyhoo. Ha Ha Ha super
YIKES....we never really thought about it like that.

Boa tarde, obrigado pela excelente matéria.
i've never really thought about those lyrics... you make a good point.
You are so very right! The wisdom of cats.
Ahh, so glad to see a fresh post from TT! You know, it's funny you mention this- dad said the same thing many, many moons ago. He thinks about this kinda stuff now and then (I think his brain is just scrambled), and mom just looks at him with sympathy and bewilderment and thinks to herself "idiot"...
I dunno TT tabbies..I heard the Salmon Sity Siamese say it was a rubber baby buggy up in the tree with a rubber baby in it and everything, including the baby, bounced and was ok. -Tom, Bridget & Penny
Frodo is wondering if they put the baby in the tree to keep him from eating donuts!?? Being caught in a tree is pretty much the only thing that would stop Frodo from eating donuts! (PS *********)
It's amazing, isn't it, the truly scary things they wrote lullabies about, isn't it? Why would anyone think it would help a baby or toddler to sleep, hearing about the possibility that his or her cradle might fall down from the top of a tree??? Who could sleep after that?!
Hope you and the critters are having a great weekend.
Sounds like this is going to be a good series given that the first epi is already riveting!

Sounds like some kook that likes to see yungun's get very fresh air. I suggest we tie him to the top of said tree andplay wack the kook.
Shoko
Sounds like kid abuse plain and simple. Fairy tales are scary.
