Ring on the finger affection lingers ring of posies at a pocket base made sure foul germ odors were erased Was a time when children chanted with pockets full of posies granted stuffed with the sweet scented herbs meant disease odors would least disturb. With foul odors thought to transmit disease plague germs in London had to be appeased afore Great fire vanquished the disease source At-shoo!, at-shoo! one fell ill of course. Ring on the finger affection lingers ring around a rosy made a rash feel cozy Children afflicted by a ring rash on the skin followed the advice of more seasoned kin they filled their pockets whilst they sneezed the spirit of the plague had to be appeased.
