Eencey Weencey spider
Climed up the water spout;
Down came the rain
And washed poor Eencey out;
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain;
And the Eencey Weencey spider
Climbed up the spout again.
This nursery rhyme reminds me of my childhood. This was the first nursery rhyme I memorized completely and could retell on my own. I remember learning this song around the same time my family and I took a road trip down to Missouri. I must have sang this nursery rhyme at least 100 times on the way there and a hundred back. My brother and sister also joined me in the singing and in driving my parents crazy. Reflecting on this nursery rhyme with the mind I have now, it has a lot of hidden meanings. It tells not only a story of perserverence, but about life as a whole. Sometimes your flush and sometimes your bust, meaning sometimes things are going good and sometimes things aren't. I think that's what the rain and the sun are representing in this nursery rhyme.
