Reason Behind the Rhyme: 'Little Jack Horner'
Host Debbie Elliott and Chris Roberts dissect the meaning of the nursery rhyme "Little Jack Horner." It's about a real estate swindle in 16th-century England. Roberts is the author of Heavy Words Lightly Thrown: The Reason Behind the Rhyme.
DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host:
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Debbie Elliott.
You think the real estate market is treacherous today, try England in the late 1530s. That's what the nursery rhyme "Little Jack Horner" is really all about.
(Soundbite of music)
ELLIOTT: Here to explain is our London librarian Chris Roberts. He's the author of "Heavy Words Lightly Thrown: The Reason Behind the Rhyme," and he's at our London bureau.
Hello again, Chris.
Mr. CHRIS ROBERTS (Author, "Heavy Words Lightly Thrown"): Hello. Hi, Debbie.
ELLIOTT: So who was Little Jack Horner?
Mr. ROBERTS: Little Jack Horner was actually Thomas Horner. The name Jack comes up in nursery rhymes a lot, usually to reflect a slightly knavish character, a bit of a ne'er-do-well. So I suspect that's why they changed his name to Jack from Thomas.
(Reading) `Little Jack Horner sat in a corner eating his Christmas pie. He stuck in a thumb and pulled out a plum and said, "What a good boy am I."'
Where to begin with this? This is talking about the dissolution of the monasteries, Henry VIII taking property from the Catholic Church.
Jack, as we know, is actually called Thomas Horner. Now he was a steward to the Abbot of Glastonbury during the reign of Henry VIII. This is how the story goes: He was entrusted to take some title deeds of properties to Henry VIII as a bribe so the abbot could keep the main monastery, but was prepared to give away some of the lesser properties.
Now the title deeds were held and sealed in a pie, and Jack's off to London. But instead of delivering the bribe to Henry VIII, he helps himself to the pie, puts his hand in, pulls out a plum piece of real estate--in this case, a place called Mells Manor--and thinks he's very clever for doing this. That's one version of it, that Jack is a thief and he's stealing the bribe that's intended for the king. And he...
ELLIOTT: So was this common? Is there historical evidence to support the theory that bribes were often delivered in pies?
Mr. ROBERTS: It comes up bewilderingly often in nursery rhyme.
And it's--I think the pie is used as a metaphor. I think it's not necessarily what we would think of as a pie. It's just referring to a means of concealing a document, concealing anything. It could be jewels in some cases. Now the Horner family, who incidentally lived in Mells Manor until the 20th century, are quite outraged at this slander of their ancestor and understandably so.
And there are actually two rhymes that mention Mr. Horner. The first one that mentions him is: `Hopton(ph), Horner, Smith and Finn, when the abbots went out, they came in.' And a much more likely reading of what happened is that Thomas Horner, along with the other people mentioned in the previous rhyme--Hopton and Smith and Finn--were up-and-coming gentry. They were Protestant, they were local merchants doing quite well for themselves in the area around Glastonbury, and that they bought the property. You could see it as an early example of gentrification.
They bought the property at the time admittedly at a knockdown rate, and admittedly the land had been stolen from the Catholic Church by Henry VIII. This seems to be what happened after the dissolution of the monasteries. The king didn't keep all the land for himself; he distributed it amongst his supporters so he then could rely on their loyalty should anything occur in the future, should there be a rebellion in the future. I suspect, though I can't prove this, that the popular `Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, eating his Christmas pie' version is actually the Catholic take on proceedings there.
ELLIOTT: Chris Roberts is the author of "Heavy Words Lightly Thrown: The Reason Behind the Rhyme," and he's a librarian at Lambeth College in South London.
Thank you, Chris.
Mr. ROBERTS: Thank you, Debbie.

NOTES [376 words]: This is probably only a nursery *rhyme*, and not a nursery *song*, and so properly does not belong in the Index. But Tony and Irene Saletan recorded it as part of their version of "Hail to Britannia" (which includes many nursery rhymes), so it does have a musical tradition of sorts.
I also seem to recall a second tune for the second part of the verse. I include it, very tentatively, on that basis.If one believes that all nursery rhymes have political contexts, this obviously has to do with political or ecclesiastical corruption. The quasi-official version of the story, according to the Baring-Goulds, is that the real Jack Horner was Thomas Horner of Glastonbury, who at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries managed to sneak several deeds to Henry VIII (allegedly in a piecrust), and managed to extract one for himself.
The Opies, for once, do not reject this out of hand, but give it detailed analysis (which I would boil down to, "We can't prove it wrong, but there is no real reason to think it true either"). They do admit that the story did not become attached to the poem until the nineteenth century.
There is a good bit of detail on this on pp. 49-56 of Thomas -- one of the few instances of her citing something reasonable. (Note, however, that the statement that Henry VIII became head of his own church in 1594 is blatantly wrong -- Henry was 47 years dead by then! The Act of Supremacy was passed in 1534.
) The Opies also have substantial details.Carey's Namby Pamby, the source cited by the Opies, has itself some interesting references; according to Partridge, "Namby Pamby" was a name used by Carey, Swift, and Pope for the poetaster Ambrose Philips. According to Benet (entry on Ambrose Philips), it was Carey who first bestowed the name on Phillps (a friend of Addison and of Steele, who died 1749) due to Phillips's "eminence in infantile style."
As with his earlier near-contemporary John Fell (of "I do not love you, Doctor Fell" fame), Philips seems to be remembered only for the quip at his expense. In the case of Fell, that was unfair; he did genuinely useful work. But Philips's most popular poem seems to have been "To Miss Charlotte Pulteney in Her Mother's Arms," which is probably a clue to his work.... - RBW

CHEESECURISCHES! WHO SHEETS? RECIPE
I love cottage cheese very much,
I will share the recipe,
My cheesecake tastes expensive,
I undertake to write about it!
So, the whole mass - in a bowl,
We’ll beat an egg there,
Flour - a tenant with a residence permit,
Our composition is there!
I'll hide the details here,
We've been living for years,
Sometimes we're in the kitchen
And we cry and sing!
We roll all the balls,
Of course, in breadcrumbs,
And we know how to fry,
The whole dish is in amber!
And with fragrant tea
All cheesecakes on the table!
We fly from smells,
A friend came for breakfast!
-------------------------
ARABICA
How will you please your friends, Natalka?
Here is cottage cheese from the fridge
And flour for dough and boning -
Only it won't be a pie.
I won't forget eggs, salt and sugar,
Well, and my favorite vanillin.
I take out beautiful dishes,
I always have the same recipe.
I will flour my palms,
To roll a round ball,
And then I'll flatten it a little.
Pour oil - and you can bake.
Rounds will be covered with a crust,
And jelly is ready, now pour it.
Here are fragrant sweets -
I invite you to my table!
She has no hope of worldly gain,
A peasant's wages for hiring her,
And every pulsation of his own desire
Resigned to childish admirers.
Tiny school, her citadel,
Acre without fences, her property,
Her life is a sacrifice; her gain is
The acquisition of those she serves so well.
Though little more than a child herself,
She is the mother of many sons;
Childish love permeates all veins
And gently floods every elf.
Despite the fact that this is hindered by the formal meaning
Laws that test its usefulness
And boards of simple truthfulness
And benevolent incompetence,
She earns a price they can't pay,
Obeys a law they didn't make,
Endures for her children
Arrogance of human clay.
Oh, hide your littleness in shame Who thinks you pay for everything she gives;
In her sacred circle lives
Light of eternal fire,
And grows down the page of your country.
The beauty of her victim
Shines again in other eyes,
And multiply from age to age.
The mothers of the race that should be
will re-live their tenderness,
And her devotion will fill
Sons who keep our country free.
She doesn't get the blatant, pompous prize,
But the men who move worldly affairs
Keep a moment from their worries
Think of her with wet eyes.
Conquerors of hostile lands,
The hearts of the burdens of the nation bear,
Tomorrow's masters of earth and air,
Today molded in her hands.
The lightest trifle from her lips
Can charge the soul with fertile seed
This is in the hour of dire need
Will save your people from eclipse.
Kings of action, speech and mind,
Men your sons will celebrate and educate
To determine the fate of the nation,
I will earn again.
I believe that tiny dollars spent
Pay richer dividends than gold
When those in this position occupy
Use it to improve the land.

Are you coming?
Cat singing, purring
Sleeping chicken.
The dog is spread out on the floor
and does not squeak,
But here is a little awake boy
who will not fall asleep.”
Anything, just not Sleep, fraudster,
Glass, like the Luna,
Rumble in the iron jug
Iron spoon,
URACHIC, KURIKOKA, LEAR
Squeals like it's incomprehensible,
Sleeping people wake up.

Baby in a hairpin!
Falling off my knees
Like an eel.
Pulling the cat's leg,
All her asses are confusing -
Hello Willy Winky,
Look, there he is.
Tired mother
Who has a dusty child,
Small, short child
Who can't run on his own
Who always struggles with sleep
Before he closes his eyes
But kissing his pink lips
Gives me strength again.
Short funny poems
Laughter is the best medicine, and what could be better than tickling your child's funny bone with short funny poems. Here we have some recommendations for funny poems for your kids that are sure to blow them away and they will be more than interested in learning them.
1. My cat is fat
I have a cat named Westers,
He eats all day.
He is always lying around,
And he never wants to play.
Even with a creaking toy,
Nothing that moves.
When I coach him,
He always disapproves.
So we put him on a diet,
But now he screams all day.
Even though he is thinner,
He still won't come to play.
2. Topsy-Turvey-World
If a butterfly cared for a bee,
And a porcupine owl;
If the churches were built in the sea,
And thrice one was nine;
If the pony rode on his master,
If the buttercups ate the cows,
If a terrible disaster befell the cat
To worry, sir, about a mouse;
If the mother, sir, sold the child
to a gypsy for half a crown;
If a gentleman, sir, were a lady -
The world would turn upside down!
If one or all of these miracles
should ever happen,
I must not consider them blunders,
For I must be inside out!
Chorus
Ba-ba, black wool,
Do you have sheep?
Yes, sir, the pack is full,
Crawl, mouse, crawl!
Twenty-four maids
Hanging a cake,
Popped a pot of honey,
Guy Fawkes, Guy!
Cross latch, cross latch,
Sit down and spin the fire;
When the pie was opened,
The bird was on the wild rose!

Short rhyming verses

Sat on the wall.
One named Peter,
Another named Pavel,
Fly away, Peter.
Fly away Paul.
Come back, Peter!
Come back Paul!!
2. Bed in summer
In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candles.
In the summer it's quite the opposite,
Go to bed during the day.
I need to go to bed and see
The birds are still jumping up the tree,
Or hear the steps of adults
Still pass me on the street.
Don't you find it difficult,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I really want to play,
To go to bed during the day?
3. My dog ate my homework
“My dog ate my homework.
He chewed, I said.
But when I apologized
My teacher shook her head.
I saw things were not going well.
I didn't want to lose.
Before she could talk
Added to the story:
“Before eating he took my work
And threw it into the pot.
Simmered succotash
Until it got hot.
“He picked up my science notes
With egg and bacon strips,
With fried spelling words
Baked chips.
“Then he took my arithmetic
and fried it gently.
He opened both my book reports
With pickles.
“He was wearing a dog apron
How he cooked stew from a notebook.
He barked when I protested.
There was nothing I could do.”
"Did he wear a dog chef's hat?"
She asked me with a frown.
"He did," I said. “And taking him
will only make him growl.
My teacher frowned, but then I said
As soon as possible
“Covered with ketchup,
And he said it was delicious.”
"A talking dog who likes to cook?"
My teacher had a seizure.
She sent me to the office,
And this is where I sit.
I think I made a big mistake
Telling her all this.
“Because I don't have a dog.
My cat ate it.
4. Monday child
Monday child is beautiful,
Tuesday child is full of grace,
Wednesday child is full of grief,

A Sabbath child works hard to earn a living,
A child born on the Sabbath day,
Good and cheerful, kind and cheerful.

Tips for teaching poetry to your child
As parents, we should not sometimes underestimate the ability of our children to remember things.
Children are like sponges and have an excellent ability to memorize and retain a large amount of information. However, we will share some tips that will help you in teaching poetry to children:
1. Give it a tune
Have you ever seen that music is better understood and remembered by our mind than simple words. You can come up with any catchy tune and help your child learn the poem to that tune.
2. Modulation
Voice modulation plays an important role in the memorization of poetry. Different scales and momentum can be selected for different paragraphs.
3. Actions of characters
If there are characters in the poem, try to act them out. This will help your child remember better.
4. Erasing words
You can write the entire poem on the board and, after reading it several times with your child, start erasing the words one by one.
5. Break the poem
This is a good way to help your child memorize the poem.
Break the poem into paragraphs and teach your child paragraph by paragraph. However, if there are no paragraphs, you can divide the poem into lines.
6. Keep repeating
Repetition is a great way to remember things, and the same goes for poetry. Repeat until your child has memorized the poem and then he/she will not forget it easily.
7. Explain
It can be seen that whenever you explain and give the child the right logic, he/she understands and remembers things better. You can explain the poem in the form of a story in advance.
Poems are a great way to bond with your child and also teach them something valuable. These verses can also help children develop language and speech skills.
Teach your child these all-time favorite rhymes. They are easy to read and your child can quickly memorize them. Reading these verses will improve your child's vocabulary and conversational skills, making it a "buzzword". To hone additional skills in your child, sign up for an activity field such as Intellikit, which focuses on all-round development through different types of play.
The activities in each box keep your child busy for hours and focus on a specific set of skills. Subscribe and enjoy learning right at your doorstep today!

Have you ever thought about the weight of the word
It falls into the heart like a bird's song
Brings joy to the spring of memory and youth
And garlands with the cedar banner of Truth
It moistens the gathering place of the brain
Like dewdrops falling on a clearing cereals
Or it shrinks the germs and destroys the fruit
And lies like a worm at a lifeless root?
I saw a farmer at dawn
Carefully loosens corn;
The enemy came with a hole in his eye,
Discouraged the worker and hurried past.
Sharp blade of the faithful hoe
Dull on the ground in a long row of corn;
Weeds came up and their feathers flew up
Over the field and the crop was lost.
The sailor went down to the water in the bay
When the sky buried the face of the day
The wind rose like an animal in pain,
And he rocked his yellow name on the waves,
The storm struck, as if cursing the cloud,
And the waves raised the dripping shroud -
But listen! over the waters that rage
Words of welcome came, and he was... saved.
The poet passed with the song of God
Hid in his heart, like a stone in a coma.
His lips were folded to utter a thought,
And the music of rhythm made his magic;
Weak at first was a joyful trill,
Low was the echo that answered the hill,
But next to him a jealous friend spoke,
And on his lips the sweet song - died.
The woman stopped at the chandelier
Threw his poisoned spear into the darkness;
Weariness from a long journey,
She suddenly veered from right to wrong.
Angels beckon her back from her lair;
Hell and its demons beckon her;
Tone of a hedgehog, like a forgiving one,
Pulled her back, and in heaven this sweet word lives.
Words! The words! They are small, but strong and brave;
They save the nation, they save the empire;
They close the gaps in a fresh bleeding heart
This sickness and sadness separated,
They fall on the path like a ray of sunshine,
Where the shadows of death lay so heavily;
They light the earth over our blessed dead,
A word that will comfort, oh! don't leave it unsaid.
