I wish Apologize to the everyone in this thread for my attack on "fundyfisherman".

To "fundyfisherman" I am sorry it was uncalled for.


I have little challenge to those who study the bible or not. Most if not all nursery rhyme's are born out of the bible story's. Here is my challenge can anyone tell me which bible story is told thru the nursery rhyme "Rub-A-Dub-Dub Three men in a tub".

[Piecemaker]

Rub-a-dub-dub...Peter, James and John fishing with their nets coming up empty and then Jesus come along and tells them to cast their net on the other side...and when they did, it came up full???

P.S. Big of you to apologize RR.

Good try "Piecemaker", but try again.


Rub-a-dub-dub,

Three men in a tub;

And who do you think they be?

The butcher, the baker,

The candlestick-maker;

Kudos, dude!

While we are apologising, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise on behalf of the closed-minded ones, myself included, that keep Steven Lloyd from making meaningful posts.

..... but hesitate to openly discuss many things on this thread because of the close-mindedness of some others.

Huh?? how did you come up with that?...http://www.rhymes.org.uk/

Here is your answer...

A sideshow attraction at local fairs used to be three maids in a tub who were presumably unclothed and were featured in an early version of this rhyme. It’s possible this rhyme made fun of the men who enjoyed visiting them! [1]

The earliest versions of this rhyme published differ significantly in their wording. The first recorded version is in Christmas Box published in London in 1798 has similar wording to that in Mother Goose's Quarto or Melodies Complete, published in Boston, Massachusetts around 1825, which had the following version:

Hey! rub-a-dub, ho! rub-a-dub, three maids in a tub,
And who do you think were there?
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick-maker,
And all of them gone to the fair.

This led Iona and Peter Opie to conclude that they were three respectable townsfolk "watching a dubious sideshow at a local fair".

By around 1830 the reference to maids was being removed from the versions printed in nursery books. In 1842 James Orchard Halliwell collected the following version:

Rub a dub dub,
Three men in a tub,
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick maker.
Turn them out, knaves all three. [2]

whatever "Glacier" then don't take challenge. I did not ask who wrote them

[sobrohusfat]

yeah Glacier, what were you thinking, He's just looking for a fresh way of taking the mick.
He's just lacking the style and finness of a Hellomynameis or the verbose dexterity of a Born_Again.

He did manage to pass off a subtle jab as an "apology"...that nicely executed was.

[Nebula]

...that nicely executed was.

English good speak you.

Double-U-Tea-Eph is going on in here? One minute I'm feeling bad for taking the subject too lightly, the next feeling like I need to break out the big league chew!

Directions to Qingdao, I need them.

That is patently false. Wikipedia is your friend...use it.

Well you have your opinion. About what you can do with Wikipedia & Matt & Co. I am not aloud to say on here.

Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf

As soon as Wolf began to feel
That he would like a decent meal,
He went and knocked on Grandma's door.
When Grandma opened it, she saw
The sharp white teeth, the horrid grin,
And Wolfie said, ``May I come in?''
Poor Grandmamma was terrified,
``He's going to eat me up!'' she cried.
And she was absolutely right.
He ate her up in one big bite.
But Grandmamma was small and tough,
And Wolfie wailed, ``That's not enough!
I haven't yet begun to feel
That I have had a decent meal!''
He ran around the kitchen yelping,
``I've got to have a second helping!''
Then added with a frightful leer,
``I'm therefore going to wait right here
Till Little Miss Red Riding Hood
Comes home from walking in the wood.''
He quickly put on Grandma's clothes,
(Of course he hadn't eaten those).
He dressed himself in coat and hat.
He put on shoes, and after that
He even brushed and curled his hair,
Then sat himself in Grandma's chair.
In came the little girl in red.
She stopped. She stared. And then she said,

``What great big ears you have, Grandma.''
``All the better to hear you with,'' the Wolf replied.
``What great big eyes you have, Grandma.''
said Little Red Riding Hood.
``All the better to see you with,'' the Wolf replied.

He sat there watching her and smiled.
He thought, I'm going to eat this child.
Compared with her old Grandmamma
She's going to taste like caviar.

Then Little Red Riding Hood said, ``But Grandma,
what a lovely great big furry coat you have on.''

``That's wrong!'' cried Wolf. ``Have you forgot
To tell me what BIG TEETH I've got?
Ah well, no matter what you say,
I'm going to eat you anyway.''
The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers.
She whips a pistol from her knickers.
She aims it at the creature's head
And bang bang bang, she shoots him dead.
A few weeks later, in the wood,
I came across Miss Riding Hood.
But what a change! No cloak of red,
No silly hood upon her head.
She said, ``Hello, and do please note
My lovely furry wolfskin coat.''
