This Old Man
The cry of the wolf knows not he is the inheritance of the waning moon
Interchanging aggression for passion drip of desires darkness shall swoon
Howl unto me my night creatures, feast of the blood
Fangs dipping in ripen flesh in the name of love
London Bridges falling down human immurement sacrificed limbs to keep its crown
What goes up Vikings burned it to the ground
Bodies encased in its moorings hushed without the Queens' sound
Watering graves erected beams
Entombed, no mercy as young minds scream
Upon protest of tears from parents enraged
Their generation souls not rested as the steel was paved
What nick knack patty whack, I give dog their bones
I serenade them with graveyards songs
Buried deep who hears the cry when hearts are ripped and torn
Minds in the shadows of death, flowers thrown in the morn
Unto the King peasants have nothing to give, nothing to share
Scale the castle and rob the nobleman of his silver and gold, and burn his lair
As ancient rite unto my nursery rhymes as time has foretold
I am the providence, we stand naked shivering our porridge is cold
This old man came rolling home
Barefooted, no bread to break, family abandoned, and all alone
To the guillotine my head bent I saw the hunger and heartache still mirrored in the children’s eyes
Decaying bodies riddled with starvation and swarming flies
Is this the road to redemption my head severed eyes watch my body twitch my soul descended to be consoled
To give weary souls
The comforts, the town's people under your monarch still freezing, bodies encased in its moorings in the cold
King oh thy King, can you hear the sounds of your kingdom raising arms in battle to overthrow
By death and destruction as the Roman rosary clasped in hope to give comfort to the po
This old man he plays five
The music of doom in his head realizing he has no home in the sky
Treason for hunger as his body is quartered, dragged through the village accused of stealing from the King a loaf of rye

Thank you, my X-Files poet, for taking the time to read and the marvelous comment.
Be advised and take into consideration some nursery rhymes have a dark element surrounding its content. Therefore, when we are singing those bedroom lullabies to children, we have to make absolutely sure what are their ears listening too and the history behind the words.
Enjoy your Saturday evening and have terrific Sunday
A Little History On This Old Man And London Bridges Is Falling Down Nursery Rhymes
One dark theory behind the bridge’s longevity maintains that there were bodies encased in its moorings.
The author of the book “The Traditional Games of England, Scotland and Ireland” Alice Bertha Gomme suggests that the “London Bridge Is Falling Down” rhyme refers to the use of a medieval punishment known as immurement. Immurement is when a person is encased into a room with no openings or exits and left there to die.
Immurement was a form of punishment as well as a form of sacrifice. Gomme points to the lyric “take the key and lock her up” as a nod to this inhumane practice and the belief that the sacrifices may have been children
About an old man playing “nick-nack” on various things owned by the song’s writer. In the end, it turns out this is just a standard case of the English hating on poor Irish people after the potato famine. Most sources believe “This Old Man” refers to Irish beggars going door to door in England after the famine, either to sell knick-knacks or to literally play a rhythm called “nick-nacks” using spoons in hopes of getting some change.
