You must be familiar with it, it's the song we were taught with when we were little, supposedly to learn how to count. I have personally analyzed that nursery rhyme few days ago. What if nursery rhymes aren't just for little kids? What if it isn't just about the obvious? I have concluded that this particular rhyme can be used as a voice of conscience. To make you learn something else from it besides numbers.
"One, two, three, four, five,
Once I caught a fish alive,"
It could mean that a person once found someone. "Fish" can be used as a symbol to portray a person. As to the metaphor "there's tons of fishes in the sea."
"Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let it go again."
Then I let it go again."
Then he or she let's the person go again. "Again" signifies that it's been more than once that he or she has let that person go.
"Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so."
Because it bit my finger so."
A question was asked of why did he or she let that person go. That could probably be the voice in one's own head asking himself or herself of why did he or she let that person go. Chance are just to remind oneself so that he or she will never forget the reason. "Because it bit my finger so", the word bit can be portrayed as injury that has been brought to oneself by that person. He or she let the person go because that person does hurting.
"Which finger did it bite?
The little finger on my right."
Well, I had an experience in that particular area, so this relates to me and my past. Maybe this analysis will help anyone that's currently going through a state that I was in.The little finger on my right."
Another question was asked in one's head as a reminder. "The little finger on my right" can be used to view promises. As "pinky promises" are usually made by using the little finger on one's right hand side. So, that person has hurt he or she more than once by breaking promises as promises are a big deal.
Alas, creatures.
