Mother Goose Investigations - Tinker, Tailor - How to choose a husband

The nursery cherry stone, otherwise known as Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor began with a young girl counting cherry stones. The number of stones that work refers to her husband's will. It 'was also used as a rhyme jump.

But the jobs are fairly easy, No Century equivalent of 18 players and airline pilots are (it seems to be the occupation of choice for the husbands of women in 1970). There is a clear link between the jobs, the first fourmore or less of one or ER-or end, and three of the four other "man" at the end.

Despite the link with gypsies, a coppersmith was pretty good, though probably go through an apprenticeship of four years. A Tinker was a plumber, who had not received his own business. He could have sold pots and pans sheet goods from door to door.

A tailor, the manufacturer or change clothes for men, it seems much better. Traditional tailoring is called on the measure, which is installed on aperson in particular. Historically, the Jewish community has been associated.

A soldier who was a volunteer until 1650. After that date would have been paid. Most of the time spent traveling to distant lands, attacked by the swords, spears, and so on.

A sailor who could describe a Mans boat, but generally refers to a Royal Navy (active from the 16th century) or the Merchant Shipping (cargo and passengers). It meant far away from your wife,and the proximity of guns miss the arms or legs.

A rich man is not necessary course work, more or less likely to have at home, a beautiful. Just like a poor man poor, has been sent.

A beggar is the man apparently homeless can wander from place to place. The robber was then morally the lowest of the low will be described, but our values have changed and we think now, perhaps, was forced to two low ITS theiveryWage.

So doing, the girls are going to get married these days, assuming they do? Player, singer, doctor, Minger. Very nice man, bad man, no hope of man, woman.
