Remember the nursery rhyme? Ring Around the Rosy Pocket Full of Posie Ashes! Ashes! We all Fall down 1-27-2009

It’s about the Black Death… “Ring around the rosy”: patients had rosy red rashes in the shape of a ring “Pocket full of Posie”: pockets and pouches were filled with sweet smelling herbs (posies) because the disease was thought to have been caused by bad smells “Ashes! Ashes!”: the cremation of the dead bodies The Great fire of London (1666) stopped the plague by killing all the rats “We all fall down”: everyone died 1-27-2009
