Little Jack Horner

done research on several nursery rhymes and their deep dark history. For this project I chose to do the nursery rhyme, “Five Little Monkeys.” This innocent rhyme that has helped many young children learned to count has a dark past and is quite demented. “Five Little Monkeys” was once said to be now what so would call racist. It is to be believed that the monkeys were once a rude name for African Americans that several Caucasians said to them. Along with several other nursery rhymes “Five Little Monkeys” they believed to be racist. These include: “Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe,” “Ten Little Indians,” “Chinese, Japanese, Dirty Knees, Look at These,” “Oh Susanna,” “Short’nin Bread,” “Do Your Ears Hang Low?,” “Bowl of Cherries,” “Jimmy Crack Corn,” “Camptown Races,” “Shoo Fly Don’t Bother Me,” and “ Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport.”…

I turned around and saw Jack racing full speed towards me. He gave me a high five that stung my hand, and we talked for a little while. The game was about to start, so we headed towards the field.
