Catch Him, Crow!
There's one theory that the beloved lullaby "Rock-a-bye Baby" has it's origins in this rhyme.
Catch Him, Crow!
Nursery Rhyme
Catch him, crow! Carry him, kite*!
Take him away till the apples are ripe;
When they are ripe and ready to fall,
Here comes baby, apples and all.
Notes
*A "kite" is a "medium to large long-winged bird of prey that typically has a forked tail and frequently soars on updrafts of air."
