"Based on the centuries old poem"
The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout.
That "poem"? Are they freaking serious???
Yes
shareThat's pretty sad, since it's a nursery rhyme, not a "poem".
shareIt is both.

A rhyme AND a poem? Interesting.
shareYou were the one who said it was nursery rhyme, not a poem.
The author of the Sodality Universe
The Road from Antioch
In the Markets of Tyre
Flight to Lystra
The Theater at Ephesus (coming soon)
The Council on Jerusalem (coming 2023)
And you said it was both.
shareAccording to the first line of the Wikipedia entry on nursery rhymes:
"A nursery rhyme is a traditional poem or song for children in Britain and many other countries, but usage of the term dates only from the late 18th/early 19th century."
So every song with lyrics that rhyme is also a poem???
shareI think it's saying it's a poem OR song. One of the two. It's not saying that two are equated.
