Teach Your Children Well
Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater
Had a wife and couldn't keep her
Put her in a pumpkin shell
and there he kept her very well.
Certainly I can't be the only one who thinks this guy is a little less Paul James and a lot more Sweeney Todd? Come on, people, it's all there for us to get. This guy didn't grow a fourteen foot diameter pumpkin. His wife obviously left (or tried to leave) him, the "Pumpkin Eater" baked her into a pumpkin pie and kept her there VERY WELL.
What kind of violence are we teaching our children nowadays?

Heck!
This is just one of those ancient ways of passing on life's wisdom. It's a caution against marriage. Really.
What does a woman gain from marriage but a heap load of heartache.
Stretch marks, vericose veins and nether regions that never quite got back to where they once belonged?
Oy Vey!
The silence of the gourds?
