Yes, I love Lucy....simply the best.
Many other sitcoms are good, but Lucy "set the bar".
The one with Harpo is classic.

Ring around the rosies
Pocket full of posies
Ashes Ashes
We all fall down.
Supposed to have connotations with the black plague in Europe.
Rosies are a rash or something.
Posies in your pocket help mask the smell of the corpses
Ashes I think, are from burning the dead.
We all fall down--die.
This is from memory, it may be wrong. But who would guess that a little kid's rhyme would have such a morbid origination?
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

Fairy tales are all pretty morbid, it wouldn't surprise me a nursery rhyme is too.

You got it mostly correct, treeswarper.
The "ring around the rosie" part, as I recall, was a euphemistic description of the rash which developed.

can't wait to see little girls skipping rope to a rhyme about Corona Virus.

I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each."

Mother Goose is mostly based on Tudor Politics
4 and 20 blackbirds was about when Henry VIII seized the monastery’s when he disestablished the Catholic Church and the deeds were baked in a pie
Mary Mary quite contrary was about the imprisonments of Mary Queen of Scots by Elisabeth I
Hunpty Dumpty about a disgraced MOP
