Ring Around the Rosie

[PetiteDoggo]

Pet's Name: Maladie

Ring around the rosie,
Pocket full of posies,
Ashes...
Ashes...
We all fall down!

A rather dark "fairytale" that we are taught when we are young. References to the plague and the smell of it, and mentioning how the dead were burned when they died from the disease. The plague was a real thing that had happened in the past.

Ah, yes. The Black Death/Plague. Back in the Dark Ages.
