Do You Like Muffins?

That song the Muffin Man was written to teach children not to trust anyone offering them treats. The man was a serial killer that snatched children after they accepted a muffin from him.

I thought you meant the one by Frank Zappa.

The song has sinister roots. Depending on the rendition, from childhood songs to Frank Zappa. It's still a cool tune..

I want to know what the authors of Hey diddle diddle were ingesting at the time they wrote that !

Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed to see such craft
As the dish ran away with the spoon

I used to love that song when I was a kid. I didn’t know it was for that

@Bluebirdsonmyshoulder A lot of the old fairy tales are dark in nature, used to teach children lessons. I bought my daughter some Little Golden Books to read to her, some of them fairy tales. I got about halfway through Hansel& Gretel and had to stop. I threw that book away.

I was hoping for fresh baked blueberry muffins. Now I kinda lost my appetite. ☹️

@Musicman Raisin bran muffins were my favorite.

Nursery rhymes were never created to entertain children but to warn of dangers.
