I'd rather prefer lounging on a tuffet( or a comfortably appointed thinnai) despite the threat of spiders than getting prepared to wrestle with my monday.
Most nursery rhymes seem to have disturbing undertones. The rhyming is all that matters to children and most people and it is perhaps better they have remained so. We wouldn't want children learning about historic allusions to the bubonic plague, beheadings or finding that Master Tommy Stout was a later addition to the original where the poor kitty is drowned.
You would find this site interesting.

Your website is charming and engaging as ever. I visit often even though I am too lazy to post any comments.
Keep writing. :)

Oh, I remembered. Whatever happened to Alwar the bookseller?
Aravind: Thanks. I never got a chance to check out Alwar. Will definitely keep you posted if I manage to find something. The rhymes site is very interesting btw.
