I just purchased this book on classic nursery rhymes at Jewel Food Store. Here is one I never heard before. " Red at night, Sailors delight". "Red in the morning, sailors take warning.". At first, I was shocked, since I assumed the poem was hinting at social diseases. But after researching on the Web, the red is referring to weather conditions. The sky was not mentioned in the book's version, hence my sordid conclusion. Glad to know the true meaning.
