A Bottle of Rum...Hoooo
It has long been rumored that the rhythm of rhymes had more to do with the inebriated than children playing. Goggle booze and nursery rhymes and you will find all kinds of stories of how fables, folk tales and children's nursery rhymes are closely related. The Daily Beast has an interesting take by Wayne Curtis. The article is from his book
"And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails"
