"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a bungee jump fall
All the King's horses and the King's men
made Humpty smile again"
The PC version of that old kids fav....... and yes,many others have been bastardised such as "What shall we do with the Drunken Sailor" - now we can't have references to alcohol can we - and the line "Put him in the brig until he is sober" has become "Do a little jig and make him smile."
We have truly lost it......
To the point that the Heritage Lottery Fund is putting up £585,400 to fund "The Full English" project with the English Folk Dance and Song Society to restore these classics - as not only is our English lit heritage being eroded by the PCites but many kids have a better knowledge of Euroepan or African songs, and those are being taught in schools.
On one hand, it's unbelievable, on the other we need to spend half a mill to preserve our culture, half a mill that could have gone elsewhere.

An adaption of "This little Piggy" avoids eating roast beef in favour of ice cream to avoid offence to vegetarians. Disgraceful.......what about the offence to vegans, it should be bean sprouts..
