Little Polly Flinders Nursery Rhyme lyrics, origins and history Little Polly Flinders Sat among the cinders, Warming her pretty little toes.
Mother came and caught her, And whipped her little daughter For spoiling her nice new clothes. (Girls were often whipped into obedience and a 'whipping stool' was used for this purpose. It is believed that the tragic Lady Jane Grey received punishment via the whipping stool) Little Polly Flinders Nursery Rhyme lyrics, origins and history |
