Nuts 3

Somewhat later, the song about nuts in May came to mind. BH claims that it is nonsense rhyme used as a dancing song by little girls - while google alleges that it is to do with mating and reports something called a roud number of 6308.

From where we loop back to the Vaughan Williams of reference 2 and his memorial library at reference 1, where searching for 6308 delivers a dozen or more versions of the song in question, one of which is reproduced left.

Vaughan Williams seems to have been popping up a lot recently, so perhaps someone is trying to tell me something.

Perhaps also I should be consulting Frazer on the significance of the cob nut as a fertility symbol in the ancient and other worlds. Except that Mr. Sod will no doubt rule that nuts are dealt with in one of the volumes that I do not have.
