Do you know your nursery rhymes?

OK...i need help. i appliqued 24 pictures on my embroidery machine of nursery rhymes for a baby quilt....or 2.  most all of them made sense.

For instance... here is Hey Diddle Diddle



Jack and Jill


Jack Be Nimble


Mistress Mary Quite Contrary....love her dress..looks like she belongs in the 60s. LOL actually the purple dress and the green shoes and leaves are from the same piece of fabric. my stash is wild!


What the hell is the nursery rhyme about a crying pig? all i can think of is The 3 Pigs  and that is not a rhyme but a story. do you know?


And what is with the duck with the hat and bow? my sis says there is something about a counting rhyme with her ducklings....anyone know it? what rhyme does she belong to.


I don't know of any new nursery rhymes. why did we have these back in the old days anyway? and aren't they weird? i wonder what kids think of them.

If you know the names of these 2 rhymes please clue me in or i will be wondering about them from now till ...

Later

the only rhyme i can think of for the crying pig is the toe one- "this little pig went to market, this little piggie stayed home, this one had roast beef, this one had none, this pig went wee wee all the way home"

i have no idea about the goose, unless it's Mother goose

I agree, it's got to me the little piggie one. Here's one about ducks http://www.dltk-teach.com/rhymes/ducks/index.htm

This little piggie cried all the way home...
And I found this one for the duck (and vaguely remember it, too):
Five Little Ducks

Five little ducks went swimming one day,
Over the hill and far away,
Mother duck said “Quack, quack, quack,”
And only four little ducks came back.

Four little ducks went swimming one day,
Over the hill and far away,
Mother duck said “Quack, quack, quack,”
And only three little ducks came back.

Three little ducks went swimming one day,
Over the hill and far away,
Mother duck said “Quack, quack, quack,”
And only two little ducks came back.

Two little ducks went swimming one day,
Over the hill and far away,
Mother duck said “Quack, quack, quack,”
And only one little duck came back.

One little duck went swimming one day,
Over the hill and far away,
Mother duck said “Quack, quack, quack,”
And five little ducks came back.
