jim jones is the example huh???
did you know he had a pocket full of posies....?
Actually I had it mixed up with a different one. It was actually about the 2nd outbreak of the bubonic plague when it was known as the black death in late 1300's. Ring around the rosie referred to the sores which began as a red bump surrounded by a ring. Pocket full of posies were because the pockets were filled with them to cover the stench. Ashes referred to the burning of the dead. We all fall down was everyone's acceptance that it was the end of humanity and inevitably, everyone would have the plague at some point....pretty grim huh?
