Love has no age, they say! Yet is this really true?

Crude, ribald or violent:did you know that many, if not most, of the nursery rhyme tunes that you hum to your grandchildren to rock or entertain them, have tendentious origins to say the least? If at first listen, they seem quite innocuous, their sometimes absurd lyrics most often reveal a hidden me
