Thanks.
I happened to see a commercial for a kids show, 'Richard Scary's Busy World'.
My parents read me 'his' nursery rhymes when I was a kid, and amazingly after all these years some of them popped unbidden into my head.
'There once was two cats from Kilkenny
Who each thought there were one cat too many.
They fought and they fit
They scratched and they bit
'til instead of two cats there weren't any.'
Eh. Although as a kid I loved the illustration.
One that I can't remember completely is now unexceptable, something that included
'Johnny was a Welchman, Johnny was a thief, Johnny came to my house, and stole a leg of beef'.... and included something about hitting him on the head.
We're lucky to have parents that cared.
