Excellent!
I love this sort of thing. There is something quite nice knowing that kids have been learning the same rhymes for hundreds of years. Nice to know the origins of them as well. Im sure lots of common rhymes grew from war and racism and other assorted general nastiness.
Edit: I remembered the end of the second verse about vinegar and brown paper. The other odd thing was at the very last page where apparently the mother had gone to Aldi.
