Sing a Song of sixpence

Thoughts on the Sing a Song of sixpence Nursery Rhyme

Sing a Song of Sixpence is one of the oldest and most treasured nursery rhymes of the past few centuries; and also one of the most debatable. People often ponder just what exactly constitutes a song of sixpence, why someone would fill their pockets with rye, or just how a single pie could hold 24 blackbirds. What is certain, however, is that Sing a Song of Sixpence, is a popular rhyme that has translated into everything from poems to songs to artwork. It began as a rhyme published in the 1744 book Tom Thumb’s Pretty Song Book, Volume II, a book widely acknowledged as the earliest existing book of nursery rhymes; one that was a bit more bloody and disturbing than the cute, warm-hearted rhyme that today’s children have come to know. Indeed, in its original version, it was four and twenty naughty boys—and not blackbirds—baked into a pie. In its current incarnation, Sing a Song of Sixpence is a light and whimsical rhyme that has appeared in numerous nursery rhyme books, and has inspired everything from plays to children’s stories to works of art. It also could inspire a fun baby shower game, one in which people literally could be challenged to—well—sing a song of sixpence! Guests each could be challenged to compose and perform an original song that centers around sixpence. Songs could be judged in the categories of Most Original, Best Sung, Best Written, Most Humorous, etc.; prizes could include a blackbird engraving and a nursery rhyme book that includes this timeless rhyme.
