Sing a Song of Sixpence - Nursery Rhyme or Pirate Recruiting Song?

The nursery rhyme ‘Sing a Song of Sixpence’ originated as a coded message used to recruit crew members for pirate ships. Many of us fondly recall the rhyming ditties we learned as children, such as “Jack Be Nimble” and “The Farmer in the Dell.” But how many of us realize that several of our most fondly recalled nursery rhymes (e.g., “A Tisket, A Tasket” and “Little Jack Horner”) were not mere nonsense songs, but actually originated as coded references to such dark events as plagues and religious persecution? Such was the case with another childhood favorite, “Sing a Song of Sixpence.” #pirates #pirate #piratesofthecaribbean #jacksparrow #pirateslife #cosplay #onepiece #johnnydepp #disney #captainjacksparrow #anime #art #potc #piratelife #love #pirateship #seaofthieves #jacksparrowcosplay #monkeydluffy #baseball #luffy #mlb #willturner #elizabethswann #sea #zoro #pittsburgh #manga #pirateslifeforme #mugiwaraluffy #sanji #blacksails #deadmentellnotales #johnnydeppfans #ocean #piratecosplay
